Anyone had difficulty slogging through Mason & Dixon chapters with all the evaluations on latitude and longitude in America?

It's already a difficult novel and those parts become intimidating once you go through them few times, making you stopping reading altogether once they come.

Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful and very enjoyable novel, but I feel like I would enjoy learning math more than going through that again.
