Subject: RE: Are men more musical?
Bev Lawton, I'm a Programmer/analyst also, but my math skills are non-existant in anything over basic math. Linear Equation was the only thing I failed in College. I'm trying, but I haven't been able to really pick up the guitar. How are your math skills? I'm a very good programmer, but I think programming is more of an abstract mindset. Creativity is very important. Math is rote and fully defined with formulas set down. Programming requires extreme creativity. If it's done well anyway.

I think that computer skills referred to in these posts are skills in creating the computer itself. Engineering type skills which are very math orientated skills.

I don't know.. maybe I should have spent more time on my math skills. Just wasn't interested.

Love, annap
