Maths

Here are some important things to remember when learning mathematics (known as math or maths for short). Learning mathematics is like learning another language, so at first it will be hard but it will get progressively easier. A lot of concepts in mathematics are inter-related, so knowing one helps you understand many others. Being frustrated is not a problem, it is a natural part of the learning process, so don`t give up. You can do it!

== Steps == #Create learning time. Make sure you have at least an hour at least every day in a week to dedicate to learning mathematics. #Become acquainted with the vocabulary. Keep a mathematical dictionary by your side as you study. Many areas of mathematics require knowing a certain amount of mathematical vocabulary and it is less frustrating to be able to quickly look up the meanings. #Get at least two reference books. This way, you will have two different explanations and one of the explanations may make better sense to you than the other; or a combination of both will help you to "get it". #Tackle subjects along with their prerequisites. Many concepts are related and knowing one helps you understand the other. If you didn`t grasp one concept as well as you should have earlier, set aside a little time to revisit it and learn some more and then combine it with the new concept. Often, the new concept will help the older one to gel in your mind. # Practice with many problems. Do as many mathematics problems as you can lay your hands on - even those beyond the class. This will assist you in getting a good feel for the topics and will likely help much of mathematics become "second nature" to you. # Always ask for help if you don`t know how to do something. Also never stop trying to learn something because you say it is too hard keep working at it.
