> I mean we have whole college courses about it. Doesn't this have more to do with the fact that it's not part of the standard math curriculum taught at the high school level? I'm no math wiz and discrete math was basically a free A when I took it in college. The most difficult part for me was memorizing the Latin (modus ponens, modus tollens - both of which I still had to lookup because I forgot them beyond mp, mt). Being a college course doesn't imply that it's hard, just that it's requisite knowledge that a student is not expected to have upon entering university.
