That is exactly my experience, albeit described much better than I've ever attempted. Do you also visualize math problems in similar ways? I found the ability extremely useful in calc and other higher maths.
I think it helps with math that's already mostly visual or spatial, yeah. I crushed geometry in high school with like 110%. It helps somewhat with calculus, but not much at all for basic algebra. It can help with other subjects like physics or o-chem reaction mechanisms. It might've even helped with my art history classes, at least the portions on sculpture and architecture.
Same. I killed geometry. I though it was also very helpful in calc for visualizing derivatives and integrals. I also visualize equations moving around, so it was helpful with algebra. Kinda like a mental chalkboard.
I don't approach math the same way most people I've encountered do, and I've always assumed it was due to this visualization.
I also share such an experience. My spatial reasoning helps me a lot with linear algebra. However considering that it goes still down in 3D space, it's very similar.
