I always had math grades in the 90% range.  Not that I'm a math nut or
anything, I've just been quite good at it.

Another math thing I always found bizarre was imaginary numbers.  Take
a line of real numbers:

_______________________________________
-infinity          0          +infinity

Imaginary numbers are above or below that line.  Lots of fun.  :-)
