"College math is very easy, the hard part is understanding the explaination."
Yes, college algebra and pre-calculus are easy. Abstract Algebra, Linear Algebra, and other advanced math courses are not easy.
I don't believe your ability to do math has anything to do with genetics. Even if you are a genius but you don't study, you will suck just like everyone else.
Hard work pays. Solve a lot of problems, don't just read the solutions. If you can't solve something, find supplements to help you out; or read about the subject from a different perspective--that helps. When you're truly stuck, then ask for help. That's what professors are there for.
Math isn't hard, nor is it easy. Just have the right attitude and work at it. And again, mathematics can only be learned by solving problems yourself, not by reading someone else's solution.

An Astronomer and an Astrophysicist are 2 thoroughly distinct jobs. An Astronomer seems for planets, comets, asteroids, nebula, and all that relaxing stuff. An Astrophysicist is the mathematics and technology in the back of all of it. Why issues artwork. How they artwork. What makes them artwork. How do we teach about it operating. that's type of a Geologist and a Physicist. One seems on the properties. One seems on the excuses. Astronomy will be easier. yet choose a intense aspect of math to progression as you should make calculations depending in the moves of stars and planets and whatnot. An Astrophysicist needs even more desirable math to calculate the curvature of area, the size of a black hollow, and the spoke of enlargement of a megastar. i'd desire the Astronomy ingredient of it. yet when you're that sturdy at math, you need to be superb in both.

College math is very easy, the hard part is understanding the explaination. Never blow through a problem unless you know exactly what's going on. You can find an explaination on the internet that makes thing so much easier to understand than the college text books explain.

What TheHza said above is true. I know this kid taking senior level mathmatics courses as a freshman in college (He's taking advanced theoretical algebra). However, he just really loves math and reads alot of books. It isnt that hard, its just time consuming.
Like, i taught myself Calculus III (advanced Calculus), and next semester im gonna teach my self Differential equations. Just be dedicated thats all.

first off, you have to be good at math. then you have to take all the math courses you can, and go over everything. but really, i think some people are just born with it, and others are somewhat good at it, but not genius level. and then others just suck at it.

Just spend lots of time doing hard math problems. Former Putnam exam problems are excellent practice.

Study hard and spend less time fooling on the Comp

study, take lots of classes, do lots of homework, and then practice tons before tests. Take some science so you can see how to apply it, too. That's a good idea.

Take the really hard courses and do well in them.
