What makes someone good at Mathematics? Is it a subject theat you have a you don't?

Answer 1

No. It's like going to the gym and doing weights. At first you are a weakling. Over time you get better. One day you are a jock. Only practise helps in Math. Nothing else.

Answer 2

Mathematics is like a set of progressive games with a growing set of rules (simple multiplication leads to algebra using symbols which leads to calculus applying algebra to the complex mathematical and real world, etc.). Each small math advancement may have taken a person's entire lifetime to develop and you have it condensed in a math book. Each step has been proved over and over using pure logic and math has its own logical language that may sound foreign at first. There are pure mathematicians who develop new math systems and applied mathematicians who delve through existing math to solve new problems. Almost anyone can develop a better understanding of math through study but a deep interest in math itself should produce the best results. Many people are content to learn just enough math to get by in life (balance a checkbook, etc.) or as needed in their specific job (calculate auto sales price, down payment and commission!, etc.). Having a great teacher helps but having a great curiosity will take you even farther.

Answer 3

While practice and good teachers definitely help, aptitude is a major factor also. People tend to think more with either the right or left side of the brain. Think on one side, you think in more logical, structured fashion, generally equating to higher aptitude in math and science. Think on the other, and you are more visually oriented, generally meaning you are better at languages and artistic subjects. This is not set in stone of course, just a guildline, and the brain can be trained to think in a different way than it was genetically "wired" to think, which is where having a teacher that can make math interesting or lots of practice come in.

Answer 4

Your interest in Mathematics depends upon the math teacher in junior class

Answer 5

I don't really know. What I know is that one must keep in mind the rules of Mathematics because all of these correlates in other areas of mathematics......don't just look at sample problems or how it is solved. Concentrate on the why.

Answer 6

I didn't like math at all and did very bad until I got a teacher that really knew how to teach. She knew how to make it interesting for me and I did well after that. Still is not my best subjest but I did learn something.

Answer 7

eat more guard( duddhi) u will find the difference
