Each of us has a different way of absorbing new ideas and frameworks, and to be aware of those critical differences in learning styles is tantamount to your success.

What he hadn't discovered yet, however, was how much magic there is in math and how math is everywhere. For example, he didn't realize how much math there is in music--both in rhythm and melody.
