Whats the best way to study MATH ?

Question

I study math by : Reading,Memorizing the concepts and......................I think theres a better way to study math which I need your answer to it........Thankyou.

Answer 1

I just had to brute force it - keep working problems until I figured them out. If one text does not help you with a type of problem, try other texts with a different approach. I never could master geometry proofs, but I managed to get thru the rest without too much agony. Make sure you have the required background knowledge before tackling more advanced subjects. A lot of the calculus can be impossible without knowledge of other branches.

Answer 2

I've found that the easiest way to learn hard mathematical concepts it to either:

A) Find an easier way - there usually is!

B) Use mnemonics to help you remember things - this is when you use sounds or other words to substitute things. For example, I know there's a song to help you remember the Periodic table (personally I don't know it, I have very good spatial skills and a good memory so I find mnemonics a bit redundant).

or C) Try and memorize equations by either visualizing them, connecting them with something else in your head, or use an example that you find easier to remember. An example of that last one it that I find it easier to, rather than remember a triangle as 'A^2 + B^2 = C^2' I remember the standard triangle of '3,4,5' (3^2 + 4^2 = 5^2) and when I need to use the equation I convert it back into A,B,C.

Once you've got the equation/rule memorized, it's generally very easy to substitute the known values in. You may however find it easier to memorize an example equation and substitute values into that. Writing an equation out can also help some people to memorize it. Remember - once you know the example as long as you're provided with the necessary values you can't go wrong.

Then again, I do have a tendency to have an overly complicated method of thinking. Feel free to completely disregard this advice if you so choose. ^_^

Just pay attention in class and take lots of notes. Each night, review a little bit by just reading over your notes as you do any math homework. When it comes crunch time before the test, you'll know the majority of the material, and you won't need to study as much. Also, think of little riddles to help you remember things...(Ex. My teacher in junior high taught us a joke that ended with a dad and his son arguing about 'pies'.."pies are round!" "No, pie are squared." (pi)(r^2))

Just little things like that will help you remember them for quite a long time. good luck! :)

Answer 4

if you pay attention in class, redo the practice problems your teacher did, then the ones in the book, eventually enough practice will get you through the tests. if you are having a hard time with the process of doing the problem, call up a friend or see the teacher.

always worked for me and i was a miserable mess in math.

Answer 5

well doing the work again and again can help... in my case i have loved math since i was a child... my motto is "practice makes perfect, but no ones perfect, why practice?"

but still practice has helped me pass all my math exams,..
