Math is about finding easier ways to solve more problems.  If it's still hard, you're not there yet.  Keep trying.

Math is used all the time in the engineering sciences.  Many physical phenomena, including fluid flow, heat transport, and diffusion can be described by appropriate partial differential equations.  In order to solve these equations and make predictions, you need to be good at calculus.\n\nIf you limit yourself to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, you would be stuck with linear models for everything.  This means that any more complicated relationship between two variables could not be modeled continuously, and you would never be able to extrapolate with any confidence.  Thus development of new technology would be strictly trial and error (and you wouldn't even have a good trial and error system without statistics).\n\nHang in there!  Get through that math.  You don't have to like it, but you will inevitably appreciate the developments that math has enabled.

you can't go wrong with :\n\nThe quadratic formula\nThe Pythagorean theorem\nlaw of sin/ law of cos (for trig)\narea and circumference of a circle\n\nThese are some general formulas that appear on exams\nI could be more precise if i knew the level you are aiming for.

It is the most used in daily life. Lots of algebra and other higher maths are not used daily by the ave. person but ave is.

I think math is wonderful, there are so many uses for it. It is an ever expanding topic too, I don't think we will ever find a "limit" to what we can do with math

**Learn to translate English into mathematical notation and vice versa.  This is very helpful in solving story problems and figuring out why a theorem is true.\n\n**Master the basics.  If you can add, you can subtract; if you can find the square of a number you can find the square root.  Understand the distributive property and the important theorems of what you're studying.  \n\n**If you run into a problem that you can't solve easily, think about a problem you can solve that is similar to it.  Usually when you're learning math from a textbook, you can find examples to help.  \n\nThe way mathematicians solve problems usually starts with trial-and-error.  With examples and practice, they learn rules that they can use as shortcuts.  They then use these theorems and postulates to solve more complex problems.  Learning math uses the same concept - start with the basics and learn little tricks along the way to make things quicker.

math is an excellent background for many different careers.  first of all, majoring in math gives your thinking structure.  it shows your future employer that you know how to think critically, learn complex concepts, and apply rigor to your creative process.  also math is the basis of ability in seemingly unrelated areas such as art and music.  in terms of actual jobs, relevant careers include financial analysis, actuary, computer science/programming, national security, marketing, and dozens of others.  if you do well in math, you will be able to get a job.

For my students who hate math, I tell them math is your friend. It will always give you the right answer if you check your work. So you know when you are done with a problem or not.\n\nMath helps us to practice a set of steps in solving a problem. Once we learn the steps, we do them the same way each time. So we know how to follow the pattern from beginning to the middle steps to the end, and then how to check it over afterwards.\n\nThis trains our brains to solve problems, to know when we are at the beginning, or in the middle, or finished at the end. We gain a sense of "intuition" when we are not doing a step right, and need to go back and redo it to make the other steps work out.  So one of the purposes is to help us "troubleshoot" while solving problems, knowing when we are on the right track, and when we have found the right answer.

Look for someone that knows the math that lives around your house.

I think there are a couple of main things that contribute to people have problems with math.\n\nThe first one, plain in simple, is that the individual doesn't feel confident or competent.  If you have had problems in the past, sometimes you just assume that it's something that you are "not good at".  The first step is to really believe that you can overcome your problems in the past, and grasp these concepts that have previously given you problems.  \n\nAfter you get over the confidence hurdle, I think the next thing to do is to try to identify what might be the best way for YOU personally to learn.  Everyone learns in different ways, and I think that is why there are many people who excel in so many other academic areas, might have problems with math.  Some people have an easier time with math, I believe, because they approach it with the intent of just doing the process.  In other words, they just do the computations, or what they're showed to do, with out getting wrapped up into the why of what they are doing.  Other people who might be a little more critical in their thinking might approach it with the "what is this used for?" approach, which can sometimes make math more difficult.\n\nWhat I think it really comes down to is learning what your personal learning style is, and approaching it from that angle.  Ok, easier said than done, right?  I think that the best way to figure out what the easiest way for you to learn is to ask a few different people to explain it to you.  In other words, maybe ask for a teacher to help, a friend in your class that grasps the material, or even a tutor there at school.  Similar to the different ways of learning, different people will teach in somewhat different manners.  Maybe the way another person explains it to you, will make better sense.\n\nJust remember to stay confident, and approach math with the feeling that you can do it!  When you find the right type of learning style for you, that little light bulb will light up over your head and you will say, "Oh my gosh, this makes sense!"  It's a great feeling!  Stick with it, and good luck!  :)

G'day Sasta Banana,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThere are benefits in learning mathematics assuming you have some aptitude. It gives you the skills hopefully to get a better job. It is very useful in finance or commerce. Similarly, it is key to studying advanced science or in technology as well as social sciences such as economics. There are a whole range of jobs where maths comes in handy from air traffic control or quantity surveying.\n\nRegards

If you complete an algebra course, you learn how to solve problems when not all the numbers are there for you.\n\nYou will also learn to notice patterns and develop more logical thinking skills.

No matter what line of work you are in, you will always need math skills.  You will need to check your pay cheques, because some of the people in the payroll department may have poor math skills and make mistakes.  You will need math to:\n-calculate distances and estimate travel time when driving\n-know how far you will be able to drive before refueling, especially in remote areas where gas stations are few and far between\n-set a budget for yourself and family\n-know how much you can afford to spend\n-balance your chequebook and credit card balances\n-measure a room for the amount of paint, carpeting/tile, drapes/curtains/blinds,\n-measure ingredients and adjust them when cooking/baking\n-calculate the payments/interest on loans & mortgages so you will know what kind of car or house you can afford to buy without putting yourself into debt\n-know how many programs you can add to your computer without upgrading your hard drive\n-know how much change you should get when you are in a store, because some of the clerks they hire have no math skills\n\nAsk one of your teachers about the math skills used in the type of work you want to do or look up the information in the National Occupations Code book.  It will tell you what skills are needed for each type of job.

maybe you could try practising. For maths, the phrase practice makes perfect is very true. hmm...short cuts in multiplication and division...maybe you could try learning the abaccus (a mathematical instrument used by the chinese => functions like a calculator, but manually powered, no batteries)...I only know how to add and subtract using it...

You might! Really.\n\nBut what it is important for right now is teaching your brain how to cope with complex systems that follow rigid rules.  If you can grasp & control that basic notion by mastering Calculus, you can do anything.\n\nTrust me!\n\nGood luck!
