AI Thread Summary
Studying math at university does not require exceptional innate ability; hard work and passion can lead to success. Many believe that discipline and determination can compensate for a lack of natural talent. Resources such as textbooks, peers, and tutors can aid understanding for those struggling with the subject. However, some argue that not everyone can succeed in math, regardless of effort, due to varying levels of comprehension. Ultimately, a commitment to learning and seeking help can significantly improve one's chances of succeeding in math studies.

(Awesome title I know that)

But what I would like to ask you, is do you have to be a real good at Math to study it at the Uni. Or can you get through if you work hard and keep the passion intact. Of Course you cannot get through if you are someone completely stupid, but here I am just talking a normal guy who has quit High School with OK grade, could he fulfill a Math study at the Uni?

I think that discipline can more than make up for lack of outward brilliance. I've seen that time and again.

Uhm, yes, I think you can. When there's will, there's a way, so if you try it, you can make it. Don't worry. :)
One of my teacher said that "There's no bad students, just lazy ones". If you don't feel very comfortable at maths, but still want to learn maths, then you can re-read the books again to make sure you understand everything. If that doesn't help, you can ask your friends, or even a tutor to help you out. Hopefully, if you try hard, everything will be fine. :smile:

By the way, what's difference between an Asian, and a non-Asian?? :confused:
 
Yeah of course. I hope that you are right. But I think that not all people can complete a math study no matter how hard they work. Some are just too stupid and simply cannot understand math even the basic.
