Addition, subtration, division, multiplication. Do you think mathematics is hard or easy? And explain why is it difficult to understand or opposite of it, easy.

Hello adriel, welcome to mylot. For some, mathematics is really difficult specially when their foundation is weak. But if you have good foundation in mathematics and mastered your MDAS and other basic concepts then it would be very easy learning higher levels of mathematics. Good evening.

Hi joyce. Thanks for the welcome. That's right, if you know the basic of math then you don't have to worry in higher mathematics. Its easy to learn math, just put in your mind that loving mathematics is easy. Good evening.

When I was young I found mathematics really difficult because I never learned the tables and ofcourse,it would be difficult.But now I think it's easy.Sometimes it's not. What about you what do you think of maths and why?

For me, mathematics is easy, much than other subjects. My favorite subject is mathematics, and I'm enjoying doing it, and I'm deling with it everyday because my course is about mathematics, (B.S. Math). I think if you enjoy something, or if you enjoy a subject you can easily learn more than the subjects you don't enjoy studying. Just study first the basics of math, master it, and don't rush yourself ok. And first of all, enjoy it koolkate.

Dear friend, For me mathematics is difficult and I am one of the weakest student in maths. This do not mean that I do not like it or hate it. But I do appreciate and respect those great mathematicians contributions that lead some contributions in the development and advancement of human. Much of things are sorted by these mathematics. I really respect and appreciate those good mathematicians. Even though it is very very hard for me.

If you think math is difficult, so it will be difficult to learn. But, when you think math is an easy subject, you try to love math, and make it more interesting for you, so... math is an easiest subject. Math isn't difficult to learn if you implement it to your daily life. Does it use in market, even when you play a game, don't it?

Personally for me...mathematics has been one of my easiest subjects at school. I've really enjoyed my classes and working on Math problems. It's pretty logical as far as I see it...it's probably because my dad and teacher helped me see the practical applications in real life. Today, I find that Mathematics is my older son's favourite subject too.

I have always found maths a very hard subject to understand and struggle with big numbers. I am the sort of person who can add up twp rows of numbers up on a calutaler and still get two different answers! I have done short courses in maths before, may do another in september this year as the local library is offering free courses. But I don't think I shall ever understand maths at all.

Anne, you can do it. Mathematics is not hard as you think. Think positive. If you master the basics, everything will follow. Start with College Algebra. Dont rush yourself, take it step by step. If you need help, just send me a message. HeHe. You can do it.

In my opinion its just the easiest subject of all. Its enough if we understand the concept. We will be able to do all the problems in that category. Whereas in other subjects we will have to study each and everything. Once you create a little interest in mathematics you will definitely love that subject. This is true. For most of my class exams I just don't prepare and will manage to get above 85. Its just based on concepts.

I do think Math is hard and that is why I love it. I love to challenge my self in resolving equations because that relief once you know the answer is satisfying and the knowledge that it will be easy the next time round makes me feel smart.

the mathematics is not difficult,the algorithm is. solve the problem is not difficult,the difficult job is how to solve it.

Mathematics itself is not hard for me. But, when you get into Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus that's a whole nother can of worms! I did fine with Math all through grade school, but when I got in high school I did struggle alot and passed with C's in high school math. Then I attempted a math class in college and ended up dropping it because I just couldn't get it. I hope to try again one day so that I can go on to get a degree instead of just having a certificate.

For me while in schooling simple mathematics is easy, but applied mathematics where we have many formula to keep in mind and the execution of them is the toughest part where in I get confused to which formula to use when? with great difficulty I cleared mathematics in my schooling.

i don't think that mathematics is hard. Other thinks that it is difficult to understand because usually some of the teachers they encounter from elementary up to college didn't let them to realized the important of mathematics in life. Infact, with out mathematics, it is difficulto live. We use math everytime we see our watch and count our money in our account or in other aspect of life.
