I don't think aphants have problems with these classes, at least not from what I read. I think I'd qualify as aphant, but I had no problems at all in Engineering or Physics (at least, not coming from aphantasia)
yeah but classes like geometry? i remember our section on conical slices. like, cool, you can make an ellipse by intersecting a plane with a cone, but (for someone with limited mental imagery: ) isn't that just a really tortured way to go about the task?
I can't see it as if it were a hologram in front of me, but I never had trouble conceptualizing. It's like I feel the shape as a sonar sense
