This article discusses the difficulties which face the students in Mathematicsclasses because they did not know the basic subjects of mathematics.Mathematics has very interrelated themes and if the student misses one ofthese themes he will face a problem to solve questions of mathematics. So thestudents always say mathematics is very difficult. Mathematics is very easy ifyou have the necessary information about mathematics.
Reaction:
My major is mathematics, so I was interested in this article. The main reasonthat makes me glad in reading this article is the encouragement that makesthe students change their bad opinion about mathematics. The author tries totreat the psychological side of students when he says, Math Is Not Hard? .Although the students have a scientific problem, I think the best way to solveany problem is that we should solve the psychological problems before wesolve scientific problems. Afterward , the author talked about the solution ofscientific problem, which is that we should study mathematics step by step. SoI was interested in this subject, but there is another problem, which is how canthe teacher reach information to students easily ?. The author did not explainthe relationship between the teacher and his process. The answer for abovequestion depends on the skills of the teacher. When I was a teacher inmathematics and when I received questions from my students, I was changingmy way to teach them. Finally, I was very happy because I found a personwho encourages the students to learn mathematics in smart way.
