I actually know a guy with a learning disorder and he failed pre-calculus 3 times. He studied for three hours every single day for three semesters and still managed to fail every test. It's a neurodevelopmental disorder, not a meme.

I had the same thing happen to me with Complex Analysis at Harvard. It feels shit being retarded.

I genuinely wanted to study physics at uni. I always grasped concepts very quickly but struggled with maths. I studied very hard and spent a lot of my free time even as a teen reading. I failed to get into the courses I wanted to despite that and some private tutoring (as often as I could afford). It sincerely depresses me that I am not better at maths, and to this day (26 now) I feel a lot of self loathing for this inability

what about math is difficult?

practically everything beyond basic algebra, stats and multiplication. I get a headache from doing highschool/first year uni tier maths for a few hours. things don't click and make sense, its like I have to relearn the process every time I solve a problem

When i get recommended to take classes that involve things besides rote memorization,computations, and tedious algebra i would like to be able to give my advisor a printout of my wais iv report showing that my full scale iq is 86

>> No.10939320

that used to be me until i actually put some effort into my studies

>> No.10939538

pretty sure there's an iq/intelligence threshold to "understand" maths, once you're beyond that, it's mostly just practise and doing questions. a lot of women, especially white, unfortunately don't make that threshold cut off and hence the "I'm just not good at math XD"
