I still think some people have dyscalculia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia)
I think I am one of those people. Even after spending 8-10 hours on one problem, with tutors, teachers, and the willingness to learn, I am usually unable to grok it.
And then the minute I learn it, and then move on to something else, the old math knowledge is forgotten.
I do not have this problem with language. I scored an 800 on the verbal of the old SAT (the best you can do).
For some -- and I believe I am one of them -- higher math is just impossible.
