| While I do consider myself more the artsy type, when I was a little kid, I was really good with numbers. I used to have the ability to tell you what day of the week a certain date was, and I was always correct, without knowing how I did that. |

Hoo boy, I'll just leave it that math has layers I've yet to comprehend  |
You can't really expect to understand advanced math without going through the formal definitions that describe the rules governing the objects your dealing with. Mathematicians tend to develop a lot of formal jargon and symbols to describe things that would be incredibly tedious to write out in ordinary English. Modern math is essentially the study of systems governed by certain rules and the consequences that can be logically deduced from these rules. |

Einstein was actually more of a reative thinker. He actually had a friend who was really good at advanced math, help him with the equation for general relativity.
Myself? More art & creative thinking than being good at advanced maths.
Sincerely,

No, I combined 700 digits of pi to movement, meaning 0 to 9 got each a certain movement and I followed the digits of pi to investigate what movement-patterns would come out of it.
It was an interesting research for me.

I do not know if something from my post makes you upset, but I am serious in what I write and it is not meant to make you upset, which you apparently are, because you want this thread to go away.

| I've always been better at art and creativity, as well as languages and writing. Programming came naturally to me, probably because it's just another kind of language, but math did not. |

Heh. Rascal77s got the joke, at least.
But seriously, that sounds rather interesting. I have a friend who did something similar, but he set it to music, using different bases (such as binary, decimal, hexadecimal, etc). |

I also like the "Golden Ratio" and the "Fibonnaci numbers".
And (edit): I like it, that you find it interesting. I also like music a lot.

Art & creativity for me...math/numbers give me trouble. I probably have dyscalcula as I tend to rearrange them. Give me a problem, & have me do it multiple times & I'll have a different answer every time.
I mostly just do photography now, but can draw, write poetry, play music, etc.
