Math!

Jules

Hi, I am currently studying for some very important exams I'll be taking next year. I think it's like a polish version of your A-levels (I live in Poland). So, I love math, I really do. However, I do struggle with it. I'm slower than everyone else and I make stupid mistakes. I am way better at math than I used to be, say in secondary school, but the mistakes are still there. I made big headway since I was 16 years old and I believe that if I could to that then I am able to go even further. Now that I know I have Aspergers (so my troubles with math are not something extraordinary) maybe I could find a new way to approach improving my mathematical thinking. Did any of you struggle with math? What extra work did you put in your studying to make it better? Or any other advice?

  • if you love it, you should look at ways you learn, maybe differently than others (i have some LD), also sensitivities, etc, which might distract you, etc. now, there are youtube videos, etc, where they lecture. those are how i learn now ---- various youtubers. my nephew who just graduated in engineering, is apparently not that good at simple math, like on a bill........... but he's i'm sure really good at advanced math - uh, whatever that is, lol.... when you say you're slower, you might look at that. u might be slower just cause you're taking in more than others, and looking at more things than they are. that's how i am, at least.  it makes my progress slower, but the end result might be more depth. anyway, stop comparing yourself to them.......that's my advice.
