>And while school-level mathematics ain't the same as research-level mathematics

School mathematics isn't even math, it's a bad joke. I recommend Lockhart's Lament[1], I fully share his views. School 'math' destroyed every ounce of interest I had in math, and now, as a CS student, I still have a hard time getting rid of this attitude towards the subject even thought I know a lot better now.
