The hardest part of graduating college for me was the math requirements. Seriously, I've always been horrible at it. I'm good at everything else.

My grades were mostly As and Bs, but when it came to math I was lucky to even get a C-.

I had to take algebra three times in college, and I failed it three times. So, then I was switched to statistics. First time, flunked it. Second time passed with a D.

Bruh.

So what were you doing in high school?

ya'll are pathetic bro.

ALGEBRA? That shyt is 8th grade status yo.

I really consider it unfair to bash people that aren't good at math. Just because someone isn't good at math doesn't mean they don't possess intelligence or are dumb in other areas. Some people are good at it. Some aren't. I could do basic math, but anything with those weird symbols and equations was like another language.

And BTW, I struggled with math in high school.

So at what point do we talk about how this attitude is holding the black community back?

...Because it is

I absolutely hate math. Never made a grade in college lower than a B in it, but I hate it. The only class that really gave me grief was Physics I & II. We all have our own motivations for doing things we don't necessarily like - you'll just have to find yours. Some have a much better aptitude for the subject than others (because I don't care how dedicated or how much 'hard work' someone puts in, everyone does not have the aptitude to perform well in a topology class or major in quantum physics) but passing the vast majority of your core math courses - algebra, geometry, calculus - is very doable.

You're a herb.

You asking for sympathy out here to cover up for the fact you can't deliver.

I graduated college, have my degree, and finished school, so I don't need to cop pleas or try to explain myself to you...whoever you are.

at people in here looking for sympathy for ALGEBRA.

Yo.

Thats adding and subtracting.

I could understand calculus or higher...but ALGEBRA.

Nah b.

Then ya'll wonder why minorities ain't getting shyt popping...

Math was that one subject that always threw a percentage of my gpa in the bushes

From reading a few posts in here, I'm seeing a lot of the same attitudes I see from a lot of people offline who "struggle" with math. There are a lot of folks who think if I put xyz amount of time in I should be able to get xyz results out.

With math, especially higher level maths, this is not the case. The common issue I find with people who do poorly in math is that they don't KNOW HOW to study properly and to process the ideas and concepts behind the math properly. They think if they read a certain portion of a book over and over again they'll get results when all you're doing is wasting time. The trick is to introduce yourself to a concept and piece together what you're doing in regards to every step in the process and also outside of just knowing how to do calculations, what you're actually doing.

Critical thinking is key instead of viewing math as just a series of numbers and formulas. Understand the deeper context of what you're doing. This is especially neccessary when you get into calc classes for example. Its easy to setup an integral for finding the volume between two curves rotating around the X axis as far as just writing it out but getting the right answer is determined by know whats going on with the calculations and why and how the numbers being manipulated to give you the information you need.

You're absolutely right. Thats why i struggled and i knew why. It made no sense to me as for what i was doing it for. In my mind the end result was to get an answer just to get an answer. Not for any specific purpose or need later on. I personally never saw the value in advanced math and still dont Doing fine without it.

Been in this math class since the beginning of August and i'm depressed. I just want it to be over

Wow, friends, math got everyone stressed.

Why are the examples in the book and in class never working out like the tests.
