thanks shravas and faraday

i definitely don’t struggle with math, it’s usually the easiest topic for me to learn.
lacking foundation in a strange environment was the cause for my D

and an extra recommendation will not be possible since that 9th grade, first semester math teacher was indifferent. he did not want to help me, either with math, or to figure out the error in my placement

EDIT: looking back, i don’t think it would make sense for MIT to penalize me on that D. if I reach the same end result, and demonstrate mathematic achievement and aptitude, what difference should it make to them… right?
