The Importance of Being Mathematical

A few classes ago, one of the instructors was talking about how the "I can't draw" argument really holds no water when designing things digitally.  Then the conversation turned to the "I'm not a math person" stance.  This statement DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!!  And yet, we continue to let people get away with it.  It's something I harp on at work-- many (too many) students complain about how hard math is and that they're too stupid to ever understand it.
