How to learn math
The mathematician John von Neumann once said:
"If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is."
Math is simple! All you need to do is learn the rules and apply them where appropriate. Think of mathematics as a language: you need to know its grammar and syntax, how to form sentences with it, what the different symbols mean and so forth. Once you've grasped these fundamentals, you'll be able to speak the language. Some people are more fluent in math, just as others are more fluent in English. If you want to achieve fluency, you need to practice.
Never wait until the last week to study mathematics. Cramming may work in some subjects (though we don't recommend it), but it will not work in math. If you lose track of something you learned earlier, you won't be able to keep up later, so always stay on track!
1. Learn the rules
We've collected a number of free math video lectures. Be sure to take a look, alongside your textbook.
2. Practice
Once you've watched the videos and skimmed through your textbook, it's time to practice. Try to do as many different problems as you can: the more, the merrier.
3. Study old exams
Even though we're not studying merely to pass the exam, the exam is important. Try to get hold of some old exams by asking your teacher or senior students who have kept theirs. You can also look through our own math exam archive.
4. Don't be afraid to ask for help
Math can feel tough, no doubt about that. Don't be afraid to ask when you don't know something. Your teacher, classmates or a qualified tutor can all help.
5. Keep your eyes on the future
You are most likely learning mathematics for a purpose. It may be gaining a deeper understanding of a particular topic or pursuing a specific degree. Either way, keep in mind the doors that open once you've learned this useful science.
