My math teacher told me that smart people that are good in math are born smart*
Does that mean I suck at math but good with algebra and SUCK AT GEOMETRY???
Does certain people devolped a math brain when they are young??? Wll I ever be really* good at math when Im older, sense I my math brain does not devolped quickly like everyone elses? Or will I suck?
Who are the people to tell me what to do, or what to be good at?
Why do people that are good with math like math? is it because they are good at math??
I like math, algebra, but I hate geometry...Does that Mean I will suck att he rest of math?? calculus??
Please help this foo! who cant even understand a simpl formula in geometry

First of all, I'm good at math (700 math SAT), but I don't like it. I think it's really boring!
According to one of my math teachers back in high school, most people who had an easy time w/ algebra will have a hard time in geometry. Proofs suck, there's no way around that :)
Just have patience, it takes time to understand geometry. Good luck!

You're not a fool - but you are very careless with grammer and spelling (or, is it "keyboarding"?).
Your math ability can - and will - grow with practice. Your brain power is like your muscle power since each will become stronger with excersize. I don't doubt for a minute that some folks are born sort of "wired" for math or arts or biology, but our environment, family, and friends greatly influence our interest and concentration, our focus. I think Einstein had something going for him which was not "normal". For the rest of us I think we become good at that upon which we are focused. I disagree with your math teacher about being "born smart".
You contradict yourself when you say you are good in algebra, but poor in math and geometry. After you get past the tedium of memorizing the theorms and axioms, most of geometry becomes one big algebra problem. And both algebra and geometry are parts of "math".
I'm not going to address "Who are the peo.... ?" because I don't understand the question.
I DO suspect that each of us likes and enjoys the things he is good at.
I hope you will "hang in there" with the geometry. It will be a big help with Physics - and Physics is fun!

Dude don't worry about it.. I wasn't too good at geometry either and I'm majoring in physics and aerospace engineering and am currently acing Calculus 3 in college... It is true that certain people are born with natural skills in certain areas, but anyone can become good at a particular subject of their choice. Just because you are struggling in geometry does not mean you will not one day be good at math. Keep at it!

People don't need to be born naturally good in math to be good at it...Anyone can be good at it if they ask questions in class when they need help, and study.
I think if someone likes math, then that means they're good at it.
I don't see how someone could like math if they don't understand it.
Actually I hate geometry too...but it doesn't necessarily mean that you wouldn't be able to understand it if you really tried.

im in calculus right now, and if ur having trouble with geometry formulae, then u might wanna start studyin harder or do summer school, or get a tutor or something cuz calc will blow ur mind
