I used to be good at maths. No, let me rephrase, I used to <i></i>like<i></i> maths (Yes, in french math is plural).<p>Then came my last high-school year, and I got the worst teachers ever. I started neglecting math in favor of more enjoyable subjects like Chemistry and Physics. And my grades started dropping.<p>After high school I got into software engineering, and I aced most courses, but math.<p>And until today, I say that those teachers may have cost me a lot. As I screwed-up many interviews when math questions came up. (I&#x27;m talking signal, and Fourier series, etc, ..)<p>I may be in a totally different career now if only I had teachers that cared a little more.
