To the surprise of absolutely nobody who has spent more than fifteen seconds in my presence, I am a math geek. This leads to an academic dichotomy. Pardon the preponderance of alliteration, but I enjoy mathematical machinations, even though they can cause continual consternation.
Take my current homework assignment. I have to prove the sum of two circles is, itself, a circle coaxial to the first two circles. The problems? I do not know the sum is a circle. I do not know it is coaxial. I have summed the two equations, and gotten some big ugly monster that I do not see how to factor. It might be a circle, or it might be some bizarre curve that, if plotted, will sunder the fabric of reality. Time will tell, provided time still exists...
