I love love love puzzles, and I am glad that math has allowed me to solve things in my heead very quickly, but the way that it's taught in college kills me.
It's great to get the principles down in MS/HS so that you understand when to use certain functions. I was a working professional in college, though, so when a professor tells me "In the real world, you can't use a calculator," I find it hard to take him/her seriously.
