Why am I all alone?
Think back to when you first learned to do geometric proofs and stuff. It was fun, right? Much funner than Algebra.
...Right?
Everyone says I'm insane.::

Well, perhaps you are insane, but geometric proofs *are* much more fun than Algebra. Algebra can actually be dangerous, y'know, with all of this 'terrorism' stuff going on. You can get accused of posessing weapons of math instruction.
But really, math is beautiful. Just take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mandelpart2.jpg
(I've been working on a program to render that for a bit, so don't mind my obsession with the "almond bread" set too much)

When I was in high school . . .
I liked algebra, but I did find geometric proofs more fun. You're not alone!

mariek, I'm planning to major in math as well. I'm doing some tutoring to help with that, which is how I encountered so much hostility to Geometry in the first place.
