Matt Waite did the computer programming behind the Pulitzer-winning PolitiFact site. Now he's a college professor who recently found himself sitting through a remedial math class. Why? Because, like many of us, he avoided math while studying journalism: “So do me a favor: Try. Stop with the jokes. Stop telling me, 'Oh, I could never do that' when you ask me about math. Because it’s not true. You can. If you try. You can be good at math.”
