Dividing and multiplying fractions is SO MUCH EASIER than adding and subtracting them. Who the hell thought the method for that up? I remember immense relief when we left adding and subtracting them and moved on to dividing and multiplying them. *nods*

Then again, the 'difficult' stuff has always been -- *snaps* like that -- to me and the 'easy' stuff has been the opposite. I need to find a copy of the Tratchenberg Method of Basic Mathematics so I can finally finish learning the rules. Conventional math makes little sense to me. It's not basic at all. It's stupid. Higher math is so much fun, but schools assume you have to master one to learn the other and wouldn't let me take those classes. Luckily, that's not necessarily the case in college. *reminisces*
