Hadamard found, in a study of 100 leading mathematicians, that the majority of them were primarily visual in their approach. Some [including Einstein] went further back to sensations of a kinesthetic kind." Scientific American, Sept., 1984, p. 56. The secret to learning math is consistency. Ten minutes or ten problems a day, if done consistently, can yield significant results.
