Math a subject that is hard to understand and harder to master. In the early years of our education math was fun for we could see the benefit of what we are learning and how we can use it in our everyday lives. As we progress the upper levels of mathematics it becomes less fun and more confusing as it is harder for us to see why all these complicated equations are going to be useful to us in the future.
Take me for instance; I never thought the careers I was looking at would make use of things like algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Until one of the things I wanted to learn to do was fly a plane so I tool flying lessons. In ground school they taught us how to plot a course.
In high school I had to take a math class so I elected to take practical geometry. At one point in the semester the teacher asked me to stay back as he wanted to talk to me. When we met he said to me; "adviceman either I'm a very good teacher or your cheating and I'm not that good a teacher."
I asked him what he meant. He said that he looked at my class records and found I had not taken Algebra 1 and without it I should not be able to pass his class. I told him that I was taking flying lessons and his class to me was nothing more than what I studied in ground school. If I'm cheating the only thing I'm doing is converting his questions in to a flight plan plotting equation then figuring out the answer using what I learned in flight school. He didn't believe me so the next day I brought my flight bag to school and my pocket flight computer which in those days was a big slide rule thing. End of story I worked out every question he came up with correctly using my flight tools. End of story I passed his class with and A.
Moral of story is this; math can be boring and tedious. Find a way to apply what you are learning to an every day use. Doing so makes it more relevant and your love for the subject should return.
