Not everyone can learn math. I my self had brilliant and great math tutors that my parents hired for me. I event went to special private math classes with brilliant math teachers and i tried to the best of my abilities to get good at it and pass the advanced math courses in highschool. Still i suck greatly at math and i always will.
I am very grateful for all the help my parents provided for me without it i would not pass even the first math classes in highschool.

- j2kun 11y agoYou misunderstand me. The book I referenced does not try to teach you math. The book I referenced surveys scientific studies on the question of "whether everyone can learn math." There is overwhelming evidence presented in this book that, in fact, everyone can learn math.
