How can you math people do this?

Question

How can you people be so good at math besides practicing at it?

How do you people memorize such important formulas and converting them to your custom needs?

What makes you so good at math, and were you super good at math when you were in elementry and middle school???

Did you get good at math in high scool or always were good?

And lil question, how do you convert F to C??
*1.8 +32??? divid1.8+32

I have been doing algebra for a long time over and over, and a few months pass by I forget how to do it.

SOmetimes when I see the problem my experiences may allow me to recall tiny bit of info of how to solve it anybody help me out of how can I get my memeory back?

Answer 1

If it's interesting to you and want to learn about it you will. I use a lot of geometry with my job, and I have most of the laws and such memorized... I was always good at geometry though, even in school. I didn't like algebra though, and I still don't like to have to work through equations... I can do it when I have to, but I don't enjoy it like I do working out complicated geometry problems.

Answer 2

People who have a high interest in math find it easy to grasp and are good at it. Many lose interest gradually or give up the subject due to low marks. It is pretty clear that you have no interest in math. I was always good at math and interested in it. It runs through my family. My grandad and uncles were IIT students and excelled in mathematics.

Let Fahrenheit be F and Celsius be C

F = [(9*C)/5] + 32 is the conversion formula.

Don't worry. Work hard enough and you can do it. Constant practice is important. That's what frequent periodic exams are for. So that you don't lose touch with your subjects. If you do algebra for some time and ignore it for a few months, you're bound to forget.

Or if you work very hard throughout the year to memoize, then too you forget. Mugging up never helps. You need genuine interest and understanding of the subject in order to keep cancepts in mind a long time after they have been taught. You need much more than a good memory to excel in Mathematics. Mugging without understanding or without interest is dangerous. Make a choice and take your subjects of interest. I always just scrape through in history. My memory has to be one of the worst in the world. But my Math and Science marks are unbelievable when compared to History. If you are not interested and lack the level of understanding required, drop the subject when given the choice, forget about it and move on. If you don't pursue your interests, your future will be ruined.

You can develop understanding, but interest has to come from within. You can also develop good analytical skills to make up. This must start early. Try visualizing. Think if a problem can be solved in a way other than the textbook method. Which way is shorter? Which method is better? It will help in exams when you're up against time. Training for these exams includes shortcuts and different solving techniques. Also try visualizing how a concept can be used in everyday life.

Answer 3

Well, I am not that "so good" in Math but I think I can answer your question.

Math is not about "memorization" of formulas. It is about being able to analyze and visualize. What I mean is formulas didn't become formulas because a math book which contains all the mathematical formulas had fallen from the heavens. Sometimes, yes, it is convenient to memorize formulas because practically you can't have your LIST of formulas all the time! But, memorizing these formulas, without knowing (or trying) to discover how such formulas were "derived", is useless. For sure, you would eventually forget them. As they say "...think mathematically...". And yes, practice helps...A LOT!

Well, I hope I shared something that made sense to you. That would be all.

Answer 4

Mathematicians, even though they would not admit it, do not know all the formulas in the world. They depend, like most people, on the use of a textbook everytime they want to know something. The only difference between you and a mathematician is that a mathematician has a greater passion in doing math than you are. Imagine doing something that you do not like. Chances are you will not retain most of the things that you learned. Instead, you'll forget, but it is not lost. It just need some uncovering.

To get your mathematical memory back, do what most mathematicians do: use them everyday. There is no way in our present physiological and technological state can we learn things without being exposed to them constantly.

Hope I did not made you more confused.

(I would not answer the question, for someone asnwer it already.)

Answer 5

Formula for converting °F to °C is:-
C = (5/9).(F - 32)
Example 1
Temperature = 212° F
C = (5/9).(212 - 32) = (5/9).(180) = 100
212° F = 100°C
The boiling point of water
Example 2
32° F = (5/9).(32 - 32) = 0
32° F = 0° C
The freezing point of water.
Tip: Don`t give in. As great golfer Gary Player used to say, "The more I practise, the luckier I become!"

Answer 6

I love mathematics and to be good at it, you need understanding and good analytical skills. Don't worry, these skills can be developed. Yes, you do need to practise often, if not everyday to improve your math skills. Usually, I do math exercises so often that without realizing it, I've memorized the formulas I've applied by heart. Try writing the formulas down before starting on solving the equation. Hope this helped! =)

Answer 7

Usually, people are good at math because they practice it, but if it comes to you easy, then its no biggie.

I personally, am skilled in math because i am part of a math learning center called Kumon; they have these centers all over the world. They cost about $100 a month, and it is all worth it. I joined this program in the 3rd grade, which was seven years ago.

I recommend you practice algebra more to get it stuck in your brain. Do all kinds of algebra questions.

Answer 8

Mathematics involves a love of beauty and order,
creativity and exploration. Understanding something
is more important than memorizing anything.

For example,
Boiling point of water........212 °F...100 °C
Freezing point of water.......32 °F.......0 °C
Temperature range...........180........100
The ratio 180 : 100 reduces to 9 : 5
Every 9 degrees of Fahrenheit is equal
to 5 degrees of Celsius or 1 °F = 5/9 °C

Answer 9

C=1/1.8(F-32)/
Example: Change 77degrees F to C
C=77-32/1.8=45/1.8=25 degrees.
Try to take more intrest in math. Think about what being good at math can do for you. Practice more.

Good luck!

Answer 10

F = 9/5C + 32

So: C = (F-32)*5/9

And yes, practice does make (close to) perfect!
