Since I don't know what your background in math is, this will be kind of general. Most people, though, view mathematics as this arcane skill that requires some special ability or insight. Nothing could be further from the truth--math is not all that hard. We tend to make it a lot more difficult than it is.
The above is not just a "feel good" comment, by the way--its the main reason people have trouble with math--and the biggest step you can take toward learning math is to let go of the idea it has to be hard.
As far as the actual learning goes--the answer is simple--work problems. And more problems. And more problems. Mathematics is essentially a language (though a very special one) for describing quantitative relationships--and working problems is how you practice "speaking" it.
Apporaches vary to suit the individual--but here's mine (and its similar to what most successful math students do).
>First read the discussion text on a topic in the book--try to understand it, and make notes on what isn't clear.
> Work some of the easier problems provided.
>Then go back to the text, re-read it if need be, and try to understand why you mad whatever errors you did.
>Repeat this process with progressive harder problems
>Don't get worried if you don't "get" the theory at first. That will come clear as you continue studying--but its a good idea to go back and carefully re-read each topic a few days a few days later--even rework a couple of simple problems just to refresh your memory.
Finally, DON'T rely on computer assistance unless absolutely necessary (and this will happen occasionally) until you understand the basic concepts you are studying. The above study system should be "paper and pencil" only, unless specific problems are so involved its not practical time-wise. Computers are fine for doing problems that are more advanced--but they can get in the way of grasping the basic ideas. AFTER you get that basic understanding, the computer is a priceless tool in both doing and learning math.

Learning mathematics starts by
1) Understanding the meaning behind the symbols.
2) Trying solving the problems by your own.
3) Loving to think about the problems in your own way.
4) Questioning everything.
5) Generalizing your own problem and attack the general one.
6) Comparing different solutions.
7) Seeing mathemtics in non-mathematical realities.
8) Most importantly, doing mathematics as a hobby.

There is one other suggestion I can make which I don't see listed here. That is to form study groups with other students who are successful in mathematics. They can be invaluable sources of new insights into how to think about and work math problems, especially difficult ones. You can also see how different pieces and perspectives come together to solve a single problem. For example, one person may have some knowledge and experience with one part of a problem and be able to input information on that, while another may have experience with another part of the same problem. Together they can be combined, logically of course, to solve the problem.
Just by reading some of the answers given here at Yahoo! Answers, you should be able to see that there are many ways of approaching the same problem. Some may be direct and to the point, while others are more intuitive and abstruse.

Mathematic I do not know. But if you want to solve mathematical problem then you have think about that problem .

start with a preschool primer or otherwise learn how to count from someone. then progress to more advanced math. but, never ask a question on this Answers website, because you can never absolutely COUNT on which answer is correct.

1. Go to class
2.Use math instructional videos or dvds
3. Hire a math tutor
4.Ask questions in math class
NOTE: Is you have NO INTEREST in math, it will never make sense. You have to love math (or anything else for that matter) to be successful.
