Greetings,
I would like to ask how one would improve at mathematics.
The reason I ask is because I consider myself extremely bad at maths. It's not a matter of being lazy, either. Whenever I'm given homework, I can solve the basic problems quite easily. However, at even slightly complicated ones, I'm stuck. I spend hours and hours trying to figure it out - I write and erase and try a lot of stuff - it hardly ever works. I don't always spend all my time on that single problem; I often go through other similar ones, and go back to the original problem, yet I still can't find any loopholes.
When the solution is given to me, I'm like "Duh!". Even from there, when I'm given a slightly more complicated one, I'm stumped again.
I don't like to repeat myself, but I have to emphasize that this is not a matter of laziness on my part.
Thank you.
p.s. Any indirect methods, such as games, books, philosophy, etc. (even more radical ones), are also appreciated. Thanks.
