do you understand math easily?

Question

i am a highschool student and i love biology and i like chemistry but i really hate math i can solve physics questions nearly good but i am really bad at math because i really do not like it and a do not understand it . so can you suggest me someways to like math and also how to make my math nearly good?

Answer 1

yeah math comes easy for me it is my speciality and my favorite subject

Answer 2

I guess any teacher will say this, but it's just like for music, the only way to get good at it is to practice. Try to solve some problems every day or a couple of days a week. You'll start seeing the patterns, and you'll realize most of the problems have a similar way of being solved. Then it's not about memorizing a problem, it's remembering how you solve that kind of problem and then just applying the same logic to any problem that's similar.
Then you'll appreciate how little you have to learn by memory, just a few formulae, and you'll have all the tools you need to solve most problems. I guess that's why I was better at physics than biology, I was too lazy to memorize so many things hehe.

Answer 3

I'm close to you, I love biology, and can do regular math, but I hated chemistry, It was so much math, moles, conversions, and that. I had to drop it or I was going to fail. I think I let it snowball, I tried to get it but it just didn't click. I love the science but hate math. I despise math.

When I took Math B in high school, I sucked at it, I didn't get it, the teacher helped me out a lot, and went after school and review sessions.

My advice, go to review sessions, if any or offered, ask for extra work to do, find a study buddy.

Math is a process that you build upon. With physics and chemistry you need math. determine what type of math you are having trouble with. Ask yourself is it basic math, or is it the algebra that frustrates you. And if it is the algebra then you need to isolate it farther. is it the basic or is it the fractions of algebra that confuse you. This part really confused me. Once you have figured out what the problem areas are then you can begin to fix them. Ask your teachers, fellow students or get a tutor outside of your school. Ask a collage councilor to hook you up with a student that is going to teach. Collage kids always need money and it will give them practice to becoming a better teacher.

Answer 5

Mathematicians and philosophers both work with abstract concepts, but they are trying to answer different questions. To understand the difference, think about the difference between the following "classic" questions: "Do I exist?" versus "Is the square root of two a rational number?" These questions are kind of cheesy, but I think they illustrate the difference pretty well. Mathematicians want to understand the relationships between abstract objects: how numbers are related to each other, for example. Philosophers are trying to use abstract reasoning to understand the human condition. Admittedly this is a bit of a simplification, but I think it is a good rule of thumb. With this difference in mind, it makes sense that there haven't been many people who are both great philosophers and great mathematicians. I can think of only two off the top of my head: Leibniz and Descartes. To be brutally honest, most of the mathematics that has come from philosophers (Bertrand Russell is an example) has been pretty boring, and I'm sure the same is true of most mathematicians who have tried their hand at philosophy. Mathematics has a lot more in common with physics; many of the great physicists of the 20th century were also great mathematicians. Finally, don't count yourself out with respect to math. As you go on with these subjects, you learn that talent for a subject isn't the same thing as finding it easy. Talent has more to do with being able to get a better understanding than the average person. Finding a subject difficult can be a good starting point for digging deeper and finding out what is really going on. Imagine two people are trying to learn to drive. One gets in, turns the car on, and spends the afternoon learning to drive in traffic. The other can't figure out how to turn the car on and spends the afternoon taking the car apart to figure out what is going on. The second person looks pretty dumb at first. But who will understand more about cars in a few years?

Answer 6

Try putting it in perspective. All finances are geared around math, so is a lot of science. Even you're daily living is all about physics which has a lot of math. While some of it may seem pointless, it won't hurt to spend the time to learn it.

Answer 7

you're sounding exactly the way i did when i myself was in high school.i just passed out last year n i detested maths!!that was b4 i realized how fun it is.the secret is loads of practise n try solvin sums with music( not with ur tv on tho!!) 'coz it really helps as even if u're unable to solve the sum u don't get in a crappy mood.forget the sh*t bout takin help frm ur parents 'coz high school maths isn't somethin ur mum n dad can help u with..lest they've graduated in tht subject.it took me two months to luv maths n lemme tell u somethin, i got 95% in maths when i passed out n barely passed in chem. which was me fav. subject.so devote time 2 every sub.i no i'm gettin a li'l long!!!! well best of luck neway!
p.s tht music thing doesn't work with every1.if u can't concentrate just switch it off n keep on solving...trust me, u'll definately have results!

Answer 8

If you are a female then the fact that you do not like math is fairly normal. Men are better at math but not at writing essay papers, etc.

Answer 9

im bad at maths!!! i kip failing em

niwae i heard practicing maths is good

Answer 10

math sucks!
