Feeling discouraged in math is common among students, often stemming from poor study habits, unrealistic expectations, or ineffective teaching. Overcoming this discouragement can involve seeking help from tutors, asking questions in class, and forming study groups. Many find that math concepts become clearer with time and practice, and that understanding often improves after taking breaks. It's important to remember that learning is a personal journey, and persistence can lead to success. Ultimately, the key is to maintain a positive attitude and an active interest in the material.

Usually, I include them in the calculuation. The critical points of her curves are... :-p :wink:

I'm sure after a few years of mathematics we will be able to build one using functions only, and also prove that it's a girl. :eek:

I'm not very good on my proofs.

Then allow me to suggest the following:
1)Wait until a *real* girl has a bad day.
2)Offer to help her with her math.
3)Ask her sensitive questions until she starts crying.

If you can't take it from there, proofs aren't your only problem. :smile:

I've been doing that. That's the only thing that's barely keeping me in. Of course, they've yet to ask me for help.

I was wondering if any of you were ever discouraged in math. I mean, you're sitting there in lecture and just feel like you're never going to get it. I haven't really had that happen, but I think it might sometime. How could you overcome that?
