Math

Yes. Math is something anyone can learn. Sure, some people are naturally better at numbers and shit, but if you're not those people, who cares? Fuck those people. Math is a practiced skill built on the simplest shit, and the people who can do things quickly are people who do it constantly. It's not that he's doing the calculation that quickly, it's that he's probably got it memorized from doing it so much.

There's plenty of free math videos on YouTube that are excellent. Check them out if you really want to get better, but the tldr is simply the more you do it, the better you get. Don't think about "oh he can do it faster!" you'll never get anywhere like that.

Check Coursera, edX, FutureLearn for Math Courses.

But before you do that, check Coursera for "Learning how to learn" that shit has made me realize how to properly learn and that literally changed my life for the better.

Thanks for the replies. Good advice. Maybe the reason for me want to learn math is important. I'd like to get into the IT business; programming, software engineer, network security (for example). I have not decided between those yet but at least a basic form of math is needed for most of those.

I think my way of learning math will take longer because (I've started allready with basic stuff) when I encounter a problem sometimes it takes a while to find the answer. I guess you learn it better like that but it can be frustrating.

I'll check out the courses you mentioned aswell. Learning how to learn sounds interesting because I'm basically doing everything quite randomly it seems.

It depends on the IQ and skill set you were born with.

You don't need to go to a classroom to learn math, or most other subjects. Indeed, most of what there is to know is uploaded online, in the form of free lectures.

That said. I myself finished high school with little math too, and just cheated the parts I could. So I never learned it. Went to community college, didn't learn it from instructors that didn't know how to teach--or didn't care to. I shopped around for an easier way of finishing my algebra requirement, and I found a pre-statistics course and I did that. I'm now at a fairly prestigious four year university, majoring in education and minor in psychology, and I still don't know how to solve a polynomial or linear equation.

So the purpose of my anecdote was to tell you: yes. it's possible to not be able to learn math. And in my case, it was mostly just due to not being a math person and having sucky instructors.
