Here's an excellent slide show from Maria's blog, and not just because she links to 4D Studios.
If you think math is boring, maybe you're not being "social" enough. Think of math as a contact sport -- doesn't have to mean rough, although when life gets that way, math can help sometimes (or call it computing).
And remember to help your partner, don't be selfish. Teaching your peers is the name of the game (plus let them teach you as well -- they'll learn more by doing it).
The teaching is to the teacher, and comes back most to him. -- Walt Whitman
