Well, I used to escape from maths during school time, not that I was not good in that but just because i did not like that. My father was too sharp in Maths and my uncle has phd in maths from oxford in that old time, when I was just a kid...but me???... maybe i have made shame for my family. my father used to say I am like my mother, not good in maths. how about you? do you love maths? what do you do to get success in that?

Hi friend, I was really poor in Maths. I use to get scoldings form my Teacher a lot and in the same way from my parents. But once we understand we can enjoy only one subject that is Maths.

Im sure that you are talented in areas that they are not.Personally I can't say that I particularly enjoyed maths,I always thought that it was a boring subject.I could never have done it at university.Though I was never bad at Maths I could always do any of the work I was given to do at school,and I can do anything that I need to do now.Though of course I don't do very complicated stuff anymore and things like trigonometry took me a while to figure out.

I used to be good in math when I was in elementary and high school but things changed when I entered college. Since I was very lazy in practicing solving problems, I often have problems in solving math problems within the allotted time during exams. There are two types of students perhaps, one that is a gifted and one that has average skills but is really hard-working. In the end, even if you have the knowledge but you are too lazy to study and practice, then you'll fail eventually but if you are a determined and hard-working student even just being an average student, you'll eventually succeed and might even surpass a genius who happens to be lazy. So come to think of it, imagine if a person who's already gifted intellectually is also a hard-working and determined learner.

Wnen I was a school student, I was very much fond of mathematics. But my profession has no relation with math. But still I try to solve math problems of lower classes.

When I was a student, I was poor at maths. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't learn it well. I was afraid of this subject, unfortunately. This is a very hard subject for me. So I can't say I love it, but I agree that this subject is so useful and important.

My major is Mathematics but I'm teaching English for more than four years now. I'd love to teach Math when I get my permanent job. I'd like to be a secondary school public teacher but my time hasn't come yet. I'm praying that I'll get a call soon. I'm not getting any younger. Math problems are challenging. We always follow some strategies on how to solve Math problems. If you understand how to solve the problem given to you, I assure you that you'll get the correct answer. When I was still a student, there were easy Math subjects to me and there were also difficult. My last three subjects were the worst. LOL. I guess if you are really interested in one subject, you'll do everything even if you think that it's difficult. You take it as a challenge. However if you always tell youreself that the subject is difficult and you're not interested, no one can make you like that subject.

Hahaha ... when I am young, I love Maths. But as the Match gets tougher especially Additional Mathematics, I can't handle certain topics as my Match teacher in school do not really bother to teach and I do not go to tuition. At last I just drop Add Maths in the exam. My son Maths not really fantastic, so I find a way to encourage him I told him, you are a Chinese, Chinese are good at Maths ...it is in their DNA. Surprising it works. he score an A in his exam... unbelieveable!

Maths was my best subject during my school days. It must be said that I was just an average student but I was the top scorer for that subject in my class and among the top in my entire cohort.

well, to get success on anything we should love that. I do not love maths so that is why I was just reading and copying to pass my exams.
