Date: September 20th, 2018 10:53 AM Author: Sticky electric furnace senate Maybe 10-15 % of the population is capable of passing a calculus course, a much smaller percentage capable of applying it (<1%). Almost no one is "good" at the more difficult math. I consider someone mathematically smart if they can use basic algebra to solve day to day problems, e.g. 3x=15, therefore x = 5, very useful.

Date: September 20th, 2018 11:05 AM Author: snowy trip immigrant What do you mean by "not good at math?"
Algebra and below should be absolutely second nature to any smart person. They should be able to do calculations quickly in their head and should have had a really high SAT math score.
But if they didn't do well at Calc or more advanced math? That could in some situations just be not having the drive, desire or attention span. |
