Current Events > Is math hard for you?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have to get through these math classes to finally complete my Computer Science degree. All of my programming classes are done and all the junk classes are cleared (speech, sociology, art, history, etc).

Trigonometry.
College Algebra.
Calculus (two course class)..
Discrete structures.
Multivariate calculus.

History shows that I am an A/B programming student, but C or worse math student.. looking to change that.

I was very good up through algebra and geometry, but my school's mandatory advanced math course kicked my ass. I never did fully get graphic and solving algebraic functions. I can't think of a single applicable situation in life for such a thing, anyway.

I've struggled with algebra, but statistics and probability were no problem.
---

In general, I am good at math, but I don't enjoy it beyond a practical level.
---

Bump.

I hate math. Whenever I start to do anything above simple arithmetic my head turns into pudding and it's seriously like I'm in another dimension
---

I'm an A student in math, but a B student in physics. I am so bad at conceptual/application based questions, but pretty decent at math up to Calculus III.

Chemistry is more of my strength.

I'm fantastic at mental math but I'm bad at algebra. Trig is the only class I ever failed
---

Math is easy, all you do is plug numbers into equations. I am taking calclus 1 right now and it is pretty easy once you remember all the formulas. And I don't really study as the class and homework are enough practice to get 95-100% on the exams
---

Nope, I love it. <333
---

I breezed through high school math until I got to AP calculus. I still passed, but I definitely struggled there.

I did pretty well in my grade 12 IB math class

but that was the last math class I've taken
---

I'm very good at simple math and it gets me by in my adult math. I ain't trying to build a bridge
---

I was good at math, then somewhere along the way I couldn't retain information for shit so logs and all those calculus equations and limits and unions and graphing and sin and cos and arctan make me want to cry
---

Math becomes hard for everyone at some point. Even the top mathematicians find things difficult. My expertise ends at statistical inference and linear algrebra, which I imagine is 90% better than most people
---

good with money, not so much with anything algebra and above.
---

I do like it but ADD makes it hard. Working memory has to be one of the most important things for solving problems
---

Math is almost like my second language. The only math I cannot master is abstract math and obviously the later classes that would be required by a math degree; but algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus (incl. multivar. calc), differential equations, and linear algebra are feasible for me to perform (but may require quite a bit of brushing up as it's been more than 7 years since graduating college).

Washers and dryers? Natural logs? fuck off!
---

used to ace every math course in HS and college until I hit discrete math.

no thanks jeff. Never felt so dumb in my life before.

It was my best subject up until Linear Algebra

I didn't understand the importance of anything beyond that because my professors never talked about applications in a way that wasn't hidden in a bunch of math jargon. I took a Graph Theory class a year after that and aced every test because my crazy as shit German professor actually made the class interesting and explained why it was important (and also told weird stories about his life)

I spent half of grad school catching up to everyone else when it came to linear algebra and advanced statistics. Now for work I have to parse through state of the art machine learning papers....slowly....
---

Basic math is very easy for me. I generally can calculate numbers in my head faster than most people.

Stuff like Calculus was insanely hard for me. Mostly because I never understood it's practical purpose. I genuinely asked my teacher what I could use it for today, and she responded that I could use it if I decide to become a math teacher. Not as a joke. I gave on math forever that day

Do you even zygohistomorphic prepromorphism, brah?

Math is mostly hard for everyone. Just some engage with the material more than other's.
