Tips to study maths

This article below is taken from doctorjob.com.my, Click here for the original full article page if you had registered there.

Mathematics bringing you down? Here are some tips to help you.

Many students find themselves in a pool of confusion when they study mathematics. Most of them find it very difficult to understand why such a formula is used, why such a method is applied, or how such an answer is obtained. If you are going through something similar, here are some tips to help you bypass the bewilderment that is Mathematics:

1. Purchase several good reference books and workbooks.
If you are not sure which book to purchase, do get some advice from your Mathematics teacher.
2. Analyse each sample solution given in the books.
This takes time, but as you analyse the solution, you will actually begin to understand how and why the question is solved in that manner.
3. Understand concepts. Mathematics is all about concepts.
Talk about algebra, it is about concept. Talk about trigonometry, it is about concept. If you understand the concept of the topic, you have won half of the battle.
4. Practise. Clichéd as it is, practise makes perfect.
With practice, you would understand the logic of using this formula or that method. You would then able to easily identify and apply the correct formula or method to effectively tackle each of the problems.
5. Last but not least, ask should you have any questions.
You may approach your teacher or even your friends. Show them your working and where you are stuck at, and request for their assistance.


Remember, nothing is unsolvable. Mathematics, I was once told, is all about one’s creativity. A question can be solved using many different methods, just like a situation can be viewed from many perspectives. With determination, success in mathematics is yours. Happy mathematic-ing!
