Hi everyone,
Which area(s) in math do you find difficult? And, if possible, why do you find it difficult?

I'm a math teacher, writer of math books and a math web site. I hope to find out more from you students. I guess if I can figure out how you think then I should be able to help you better.

Anyways good luck.

I'm taking a class in trignometry/statistics right now. With that aside, though, for me the most difficult thing in math was theorems concernings circles, and finding their arcs, chords, etc. So many rules I just can never seem to memorize when it comes to circles.

I have a hard time with probability laws. I never know which one to apply to a given situation.

I have some trouble with Trig. I can do the basic sin, cos, tangent, but I have a hard time knowing when to do inverses or cotangent and the rules and equations that you're supposed to memorize.

also I've forgotten how log and ln are supposed to work. I remember it being fairly easy, but I guess since I don't know any practical applications I've forgotten.
