Hm? This really interesting. I like to know something about the people 
on the Linux lists. I'm tested as gifted, but I don't understand maths, 
even if I do understand physics. I guess today this is called intuitive 
physics. Neurosciences is talking about left and right brained people. 
IMO just maths gifted people are really able to understand some issues. 
I'm really  sorry for myself that maths just doesn't come to me as easy 
as other stuff comes to me. So you really has an advantage for a lot of 
needed knowledge for modern life. This is really cool. I hope you know 
about this advantage for yourself. I found some weasel philosophic words 
to justify, that maths is overrated, but I'm wrong, it's just a 
self-deceit. I honestly don't believe in the TOE, but I guess maths is 
one of the most important things ... even if there are some bad excesses ;).
