I remember when our math teacher stood in front of us in High School and told us math was important because of all the ways we'd use it...

She lied. I think I used the Pythagorean Theorem once, for a cool bookshelf, five years ago.

Now, I'm learning it all over again. One thing I've found is that if I can teach something, I understand it better. In that spirit, I'm volunteering with the local Alternative School, tutoring math. It works out great. I keep myself about two chapters ahead, the kids are bright and unafraid, and I find myself motivated ever time I plow into my own book.The best thing is, I spend less time tutoring the kids than the rest of my morbidly unmotivated 'catch up' math class spends practicing problem sets. I'm saving time, having fun, and understanding.

I highly recommend it.

I've found that we don't know how much we don't know until we try teaching it to someone. Congratulations for choosing to tutor math. Long live SOHCAHTOA.
