is math hard?

Answer 1

It can be. This doesn't mean it's not fun, too. When you have a hard problem, even if you never solve it, the game of attacking it in all sorts of different ways lets you see all sorts of new and interesting things.

Answer 2

It's harder for some people than for others. Everyone's brain is wired a little differently.

Also, circumstances beyond your control can affect how you learn. You might get a teacher who teaches in a way you don't follow well. Or, if you're a college student, you might get stuck in a class that meets once a week for 3 hours, rather than more often for less time each time, which means you don't get as much time to absorb one concept before moving on to the next one.

The most important things you can do to succeed in math:

1. Understand that the point of your math classes, and of all your classes really, is to expand your mind to see the world in new and more complete ways -- *not* just to prepare you for your future career. It's true that you may never have to "factor a polynomial" if you wind up in a marketing career (not being in marketing, I wouldn't know for sure), but the mental processes of analysis, synthesis, and deduction that you gain from learning higher math are helpful in almost every walk of life. (I never thought learning to diagram sentences in high school English courses would be useful to me -- until, years later, I developed an interest in acting, and found myself one day performing Shakespeare on stage, trying to make sense of his, er, poetic grammar. Suddenly, knowing how to break an English sentence down into phrases and clauses became very useful!)

2. Read the textbook. I can't stress this enough, and it's the one thing that math students are least likely to do, because they figure the explanation their teacher gives them in class is easier to follow. Which it sometimes is. But being able to read and understand technical text, like math, science, or engineering, is one of those key skills you want to develop.

3. When it comes to story problems, *draw pictures.* A physical illustration of the situation that you draw yourself on the paper (complete with stick figure people, boxes for cars, etc.) will make the problem much easier to solve -- drawing a picture bridges the two halves of the brain.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Ask your math teacher

Answer 4

No math is'nt hard
its just based on pure logic

Answer 5

If you keep on asking instead of reading, yes it is hard.

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

sometimes but once you understand it, its really fun

Answer 8

If your smart then no
