I was a bit of an introvert growing up, and I tended to do better in math and science at school, so I went with it.

I was always good at math and science and physics.

Plus, I was a math and science whiz from my first introduction to the subjects.

The No Child Left Behind Program was an incentive to the schools to get their kids up to snuff on math and science and reading.

It has become almost a cliché to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics.

Science, the nature of math.
