How to Be Successful in Mathematics
1. If you are in a lecture class, be sure to attend all class sessions on time. You
cannot know exactly what goes on in class unless you are there. Missing class
and then expecting to fi nd out what went on from someone else is not the same
as being there yourself.
2. Read the book. It is best to read the section that will be covered in class
beforehand. Reading in advance, even if you do not understand everything you
read, is still better than going to class with no idea of what will be discussed.
3. Work problems every day and check your answers. The key to success in
mathematics is working problems. The more problems you work, the better you
will become at working them. The answers to the odd-numbered problems are
given in the back of the book. When you have fi nished an assignment, be sure to
compare your answers with those in the book. If you have made a mistake, fi nd
out what it is, and correct it.
4. Do it on your own. Don’t be misled into thinking someone else’s work is your
own. Having someone else show you how to work a problem is not the same as
working the same problem yourself. It is okay to get help when you are stuck. As
a matter of fact, it is a good idea. Just be sure you do the work yourself.
5. Review every day. After you have fi nished the problems your instructor has
assigned, take another 15 minutes and review a section you have already completed.
The more you review, the longer you will retain the material you have
learned.
6. Don’t expect to understand every new topic the fi rst time you see it.
Sometimes you will understand everything you are doing, and sometimes you
won’t. That’s just the way things are in mathematics. Expecting to understand
each new topic the fi rst time you see it can lead to disappointment and frustration.
The process of understanding takes time. It requires that you read the book,
work problems, and get your questions answered.
7. Spend as much time as it takes for you to master the material. No set formula
exists for the exact amount of time you need to spend on mathematics to master
it. You will fi nd out as you go along what is or isn’t enough time for you. If you
end up spending 2 or more hours on each section in order to master the material
there, then that’s how much time it takes; trying to get by with less will not work.
8. Relax. It’s probably not as diffi cult as you think.
