I did take Geometry my freshman year. The two-column proofs in geometry (statements & reasons), however, are vastly different from the proofs by math induction (base case & leap of faith) in their method, though both are considered forms of deductive reasoning. I found the latter to be so much more intricate when I first learned it in my sophomore year. Perhaps I just wasn't exposed to math induction for long enough to get a grasp of the concept.
