What is something that was explained to you wrong such that you could never understand it, and you received a clarifying explanation that finally made sense? (self.casualconversation)

Differential equations. Had the worst math teacher ever for LA and DE. I memorized enough to pass the class but did not really understand diff eq. Next semester, we used diff eq in my physics classes with a great professor who explained them beautifully. What form do you think the solution takes? Using an algebraic formula for that form, solve for the unknowns. Tada! If there is a solution, you've just solved a differential equation!
