How to Survive Your College Math Class(and Take Home Something of Value)
After several years of teaching, instructors notice that student comments take on a certain sameness: "I'm not very good at math." "I need help with the homework", "I don't know where to start." "I'm a right-brain person." Although it is true that everyone is born with different skills and abilities, it is also true that most people (especially those already enrolled in college) have the ability to learn new things and acquire skills that they never had before.
No one is born knowing how to play the piano, fix the plumbing, or fly an airplane. Many of us never acquire these skills. But most of us realize that we could acquire these skills if we were willing to put in the work required to learn them. Not everyone can be a concert pianist, but nearly everyone could learn to play a few songs, with lessons and practice. So too with mathematics. Not everyone can discover a new mathematical theory, but nearly everyone of college potential can learn to use mathematical tools with facility and confidence.
