Intro to My Love of Science I was always great with math and science class. I skipped a year of math after taking a test in junior high so I got placed in a class with others my age who also skipped that year. Because of that, we ended up having basically the same classmates all throughout junior & high school. In high school, I took an Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus test and because of my score, I could have skipped some classes in college. I remember doing my math problems at home and really enjoying it. Yes, I enjoyed my math homework. I thought of them as puzzles to be figured out like someone would tackle a crossword puzzle in the newspaper. Except math problems were better because you knew you were right if you were. You could double-check your work.
