  1. This is really helpful and very much interseting.I read ur 'How to learn maths easily'article at Hub pages and then this.I too really believe that knowing the internal structure of the maths would help to slove mathematical problems.I have a problem with my maths,but I can be sure that I'm nt afraid of it.Now I'm in grade 10 and for this term,I got 66 out of 100,which made me the tenth of the class.But, that was nt what hurt me.I was able to score more than 85% for all the other subjects and even 100% for some subjects.But here,I should say I love maths very much although I haven't a good result and that's why I wanna be an engineer in my future.But I don't know how can I reach there without a good result in maths.But, I knw that I can gain it because I was able to get more than 90%for maths till 9th grade.But at 9th grade it all changed. What I was seeking till today was what happened to me and what made me unsuccessful in maths.I think now I have to use my own technique in order to be what I want and hope I got a good use of this article.Thank u vry much for ur help.
