Math is one of those subjects that many people struggle with in college. One reason for this is that many students haven’t taken a math class for a few–or many–years and math is one subject that, as the old expression goes, “if you don’t use it, you lose it.” This isn’t always the case, of course. Some people with more “logical/mathematical intelligence” (remember Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences from Unit 1?) enjoy math and seem to easily transition to college level math courses, or at least may not have to take preparatory classes beforehand.
For everyone, however, no matter what the level of math or interest (or lack thereof), there are a number of steps that will help a student achieve greater success. The exercise below will help with this process.

In this subject, there are a lot of specialized words, symbols, and formulas to comprehend and memorize. The following exercise will help you discover your own methods and techniques.
