I don't know when I lost interest in math in high school. I passed cal 1,2,3 with B's&C's in college. But I literally can not do math. I failed cal a bunch of times I only passed because I kept repeating the same classes. I would like to become great in math but do not know where to start. Does anyone know a good resource? I mostly want to identify what basics I am lacking that prevent me from progressing

Lang's "Basics Mathematics"
Gelfand's "Algebra" and "Trigonometry"
Kline's "Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach"

You either try to gain the interest again by reading interesting topics or switch to other things that isn't math

But hey, you took Calc!

Just one question OP: Do you have a new interests?

Learning lots on chemistry, I major in geology so I'd like to go into geochemistry, gain some respect in that field, then transfer to planetary geology. Analyzing meteorites to piece together mechanisms on other planets.
I've just always had a phobia of math and did not pursue it. Luckily I just run into a few integral equations but as my career advances I'm going to have to understand more math.

Yeah, you have to understand math but not as much of other fields

Just try to do your best then, do it for your passion that you don't follow but bring it with you
And excel with the chemistry part, so you could get a masters or something, don't know how you get into geochemistry

>>8454460
One question: why geochemistry?
Aren't there more interesting applications of the second-purest science than the study of the make-up of rocks?

Lots of money involved with oil companies and it's easy

yes: diligence. endurance. patience.
