Just had to force my self to love mathematics since I am science oriented.taught and lectured mathematics for long long and been able to impart same in to about 80% of the students who passed through me.some of them are out of this nation and have never stopped to appreciate my efforts and to God be all d glory.Mathematics no easy at all ,hard work and deep studies does it and I EVER PRAY mathematics TEACHERS ARE FOREVER APPRECIATED !

Pasqual:


Not all students had poor or wrong mathematics teachers! Till now its my passion and I'm actually studying it but it is truly difficult! Abstract algebra, Real analysis are all mind cracking with their abstract concept, requires thinking like a genius that you haven't become... ODE is too wide and the latter part of it, hmmmm..

The fact is that whether it's Isaac Newton or John Venn that's your teacher, twill still be difficult

The same can be said about most branches of advanced pure science.

But it doesn't mean the poster you quoted is wrong per se. Advanced pure sciences are not for people with average intelligence. However, the basics of science which practically everyone needs in this current civilization is not above the pay grade of anyone with even slightly below average intelligence.

Matrix, Permutation and Combination are not difficult. Introductory probability isn't. For example, almost everyone knows you shouldn't use put a fork in a wall outlet. How many in Nigeria know the physics behind it? If most of the population had good teachers, that wouldn't be a question.

maths is good it will make one so calculative in movement and into foreseeing things before they happen. maths can make you win a soul maths can make you analysed miles level into an inches away maths will make you to see a very difficult beginning into happy ending maths is the morning noon and night maths is nature and the above everything nature can present is God. God is the mathematics. read into mathematics and see the amazing things God has giving to us.

I seldom had good maths teachers in school and it made me hate it.
I like Maths funny enough but Maths doesn't love me in return, that kain unrequited love undecided cheesy.

I hate quadratic equation cry
quadratic equation is very easy compared to the above listed. Hell. I thought I was good at math during my secondary school because I d chop quadratic equation.


I’m scared now ooo. I have real analysis and abstract algebra next semester (next week) cry

You missed out the most obvious-. circle geometry.

In all my teaching experience, that is the most hated area of maths especially by girls because of its many theorems and applications.

It is general knowledge that mathematics is arguably the most hated subject by students of all levels. Now, while that has become a generally accepted fact, what remains quite unknown is the most hated mathematics topics. Well, if you are wondering what the most hated mathematics topics are then you are on the right page. Contained in this article are 10 of the most hated topics in mathematics. If you are currently studying any of this topics or will do in the future, then it is important to know how dreaded they are. With this, you can give them just the right amount of attention.

The 10 most hated mathematics topics are;

Statistics
If a 100 students are asked why they hate statistics, a 100 different answer might come up. However, if these 100 different answers are looked at very closely, they all might mean one thing; “unfathomable”. Yes, a lot of students consider statistics to be very unfathomable. Unlike very regular mathematics which is supposed to have one right answer, statistics do not always depend on a right answer. Rather, it depends on the closest answer. That, however, is not all the problem that students have with statistics. Only very few people know the real applications of statistics in real life. As a result of this, lots of people treat it with complete disinterest.

Probability
At first glance, probability definitely does look interesting. Now, the truth is probability does not just look interesting, it really is very interesting until it starts getting really complex. With probability, you just are not allowed to trust your guts. Also, what you think the right answer is could just be very far from what the answer really is and since there is no real straightforward method to go about solving probability questions, you might never get it right at advanced levels if you lack the needed patience.

Ordinary Differential Equation
Ordinary differential equations is a topic in mathematics that a lot of people look forward to with keen interest. However, after the first few days of sitting in an ODE class, only a handful of students maintain the interest with which they anticipated the class. The other set of students get to a conclusion that ODE is dry. This is because, until the first day of class, a lot of students believe they will be learning some very beautiful concepts. However, most are usually very disappointed when they are faced with what they consider unmemorable tricks.

Real Analysis
Real Analysis to a very large extent is considered one of the most difficult mathematics topic at undergraduate level. It is usually considered a chasm of some sort. Real Analysis separates the real mathematics gurus from those that want to be considered math gurus but really are not. Now, this is where the problem lies; not everyone is a math guru. However, everyone doing real analysis is expected to pass it.

Real analysis is a topic in mathematics that does not have anything to do with solving problems. Rather, it is all about proofs. If you have ever tried proving anything in mathematics, then you will agree with me that it was not a path void of many hurdles.

Algebra
Algebra in itself might be considered an easy topic in mathematics. Nevertheless, a lot of students have developed a hatred for it. Now, it might be surprising that lots and lots of students dislike algebra regardless of the fact that it is not considered a difficult topic. Well, the truth is; the major problem is not with algebra but with the approach to learning it. Two of the major problems lots of students have with algebra are the fact that they memorize steps and also the idea that they do not need it and therefore do not give it attention.

Matrix
Yes oh, its both a movie and a subject in Mathematics. Matrix is not one of the popular math topics at the junior level. However, at senior and undergrad level, it is a topic that everyone that does mathematics has to go through. Usually, at the beginning of a class on matrix, there are two sets of people;

Those that understand the basic concepts and

Those that have no idea of what is going on in class.

As the class progresses, even those that quite understood it at the beginning might begin to feel helpless.

Differential Geometry
Differential Geometry is very much unlike your regular mathematics. It involves a little bit of everything and that is definitely a reason to hate it. Reason being; if you must understand differential geometry then you should understand a little of a lot of different math concept. Apart from the fact that this topic requires that you to understand a little of everything, it also comes with a lot of definitions. Now, if you are neck deep into mathematics, then you should be fully aware that no one in a mathematics class loves definitions.

Geometry
Geometry is one of the most misunderstood topics in mathematics. Although it might be quite interesting to individuals that have great spatial reasoning skills, those with not too good spatial reasoning skills have a big hatred for it. Also, one other reason why geometry is very much hated is because it is very unlike other topics in mathematics. As a result of this, if you cannot relate it to anything you know, it might be very difficult to fully comprehend what it is all about.

Permutations and Combinations
Apart from the fact that mistakes are easily made with permutations and combinations, it is considered by a lot of students to be time consuming. Even more annoying is the fact that it gets more complex as one delves deeper. Now, if one is not able to understand the basic concepts at the beginning of study, then all chances of getting to understand it might be lost forever.

Complex Numbers
Complex numbers is a topic in mathematics that is quite easy to understand if given proper attention. However, if one fails to understand it initially, then it will make no sense. One other major reason this topic is hated is the fact that it is very abstract.

These topics sure gave some of us a really hard time in school!

I advise students in school not to hate mathematics even though they intend studying non-math courses.

They would regret it. The best jobs out there are quant dominated.
