I adore conceptual math, and things like e^(pi i) = -1 made me incredibly happy.
See, this? Absolutely no idea what this is.
Of course, that's also partly because math made me so unhappy, I stopped at Algebra II. In college I got away with one "math for non-math people" course, in which we read Flatlands and the Annotated Alice in Wonderland, so I've never even been exposed to most of the higher conceptual math.
e^(pi i) = -1 makes me happy because it seems so completely... nonintuitive and unlikely, I guess.
Let's see if I can get that equation pretty in one shot:
eπi=-1
Oh ita, good luck on your MRI tomorrow. Try to keep your head still, is about the only advice I can think of. Or maybe, close your eyes if you're at all claustrophobic.
I am proud of the fact that I not only rocked geometry in tenth grade, I actually enjoyed it.
Anything higher than algebra just ... it's like another language to me. I tend to be a visual learner, so maybe it's the fact that I can't picture what X is supposed to stand for or whatever.

good luck on your MRI tomorrow.
Thanks!

I'm planning on falling asleep. It's NINETY MINUTES. I've never had a head MRI that went more than 20 or so. And I thought the awake/asleep EEG was going to be the annoying test.
I'd forgotten that tomorrow was MRI day, ita. Good luck!
I almost fell asleep, except I never sleep on my back and the random noise was a bit too much.
One of my biggest fears was that my nose would itch and I'd be unable to scratch it. That did happen, but it was only a minor itch so it was no biggie.
eπi=-1
Oh, I ♥ this equation. So very much.
