[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 3613859, member: 796"] Take it from a "math pro", the reason most people who "can't learn math" have trouble is because math is NOT a spectator sport. You wouldn't expect to make a pro sports team by watching a lot of games. Buying a guitar does not make you a musician. You can't memorize something and skip up to algebra without learning arithmetic first. Get in there and get dirty rolling problems around. Learn by doing. Practice. After working thousands of waveform problems, they all look like the same problem over again with different coefficients. A College Algebra student asked me "If your degrees are in Physics, how come you know math?" Well, when you spend 6 years working math word problems, it matters little whether you call it math, physics, physical chemistry, or engineering. Try it and see. [/QUOTE]
