*sigh*

I'm starting a 10 week foray into college math, 208 and 209, today. I'm reading the 1st chapter (89 fuggin pages), and I was cruising along thinking "pfft... this ain't bad"... and then I got to fractions. 😣 [frypan]

math isn't too bad... just be damn sure you understand everything before you turn the page... if you don't the next page won't make any sense.... then your screwed... 😟

and don't worry about having to remember it forever... had an instructor explain that alll they are trying to do is see if you're capable of learning.. and math is a good tool to do that... 😟

You could always ask an average 5th grader. I hear they are pretty smart.

I had a live-in math tutor... until he moved out. My kid is a math genius (he's half Asian, ya know) but he can't take my weekly tests for me.

He could explain it to me, though...

Check out YouTube for lectures and explanations. They walk you through problems and I think you can email questions... Lots of resources out there...
