I got a call from my daughter the other day as she and a couple of friends were at the local Starbucks having a study group for an upcoming calculus test. "Daddy, can you come help us?" I went over and they were working on the volume of solids of rotation. Haven't done it in over 20 years, but within 5 minutes I was back up to speed and helping them. It's the difference between memorizing math and knowing math.
