what is the best way to master mathematics?

Question

difficult to apply to solve problems

Answer 1

Study a lot, read carefully, and think deeply.

Answer 2

Perfectly utilize formulas, know them inside and out, study. Try to make your own creative ways of thinking and solving formulas beside what you are taught...who knows, you may wind up defying a mathematic formulas haha ( highly unlikely though =p) ... try to notice relations betwen formulas and experiment on different numbers. oh and make sure you do math frequently, because without math on your brain on the regular basis..studies show that its performance dwindles ...trial and error ALWAYS works. Although it may seem very easy, master the basic knowledge first, addition, subtraction,multiplication, division, square routes. Use strategies such as number trees ( stem-and-leaf charts ) and graphs. It may seem like alot but the more practice the more fluent you will become. ALSO! to be AHEAD of the class... take some time out to visit a library and sign out books such as geometry, algebra, and triganometry ( depending on what level of study you're in...but nevertheless you'll still be considered a genious at a young age if you are truly dedicated to taking the step for further knowledge.)

It's funny you asked that question because that's exactly what i'm trying to do. GOODLUCK!

and by the way... being called a "geek" nowadays would be considered a good thing lol
I'm a geek and a nerd because I suppose I'm intelligente and I also enjoy learning: out of the textbook and further extemporaneous knowledge to better myself. This was probly one of the best / most logical question I think I've seen so far haha

Answer 3

There's lots of techniques, and I passed my last exam by 90% so I should know. That was a full 9% above the next highest student. Anyhows, The main thing is to just do the work; that's all. Apart from that it's good to remember 'just start'. Write those words somewhere you can see them; if you want to succeed, I have them on my folder. And also reward yourself with a cup of coccoa [or what ever your delight is] every half hour. And take times off to have fun, as well. Now, when you pass top of class, send me an email. Oh, one other thing, remember the best model we have is handed to us by the ancient Greeks [from who we get the word Accademy] anyhows, they advise learning all things at once; so don't just do maths, rather do geography and everything else too; the mind just learns quicker and doesn't get fed up that way.

Answer 4

i believe that practice is the only way to master mathematics. know your time tables and get respectable with mental calculations first before depending on a calculator. do a lot of different types of questions and expose yourself to different questions of the same topic so that you have a feel of everything. after a while you'll come to realise that math, especially if youre in school, is almost all the same.

so just practice, practice and practice!

Answer 5

yep, practice. make youuself a card with the different formulas, as in area = length times width. learn the formulas, get a book that gives problems to solve with the answers in the back. don't look at the answers until you have tried to solve the problem on your own. mathetics becomes simple when you discover that the laws of mathetics do not change, and that practice is what makes you able to see which laws apply to a problem.

Answer 6

Along with practice I believe that some people are naturally gifted with a mathematical mind. There are some people who can grasp mathematical concepts quickly and then there are others like myself who have a very difficult time understanding math. Which one are you?

Answer 7

Three real options and one imaginary (just seen a complex number question):

1 naural genius talent

2 patience and practice

3 when number one fails use number two

4 give up trying!

Answer 8

Practice. Learn your times tables and never use a calculator.

Answer 9

I'm sorry I can't help you with the route. I used to know his sister miss mathematics - she was very pure - but I lost her address. Perhaps you'd let me know if you find him :-)

Answer 10

Give private tuition in Maths, and write your preparatory notes in hard-covered notebooks. Get private tuition occasionally, yourself.

Answer 11

Practice

Learn all the rules that are associated with Multiplying, dividing, adding and subtraction.
