Educational Post 8: Mathmares

Mathmares! How do you feel when I say mathematics to you? Most of the people are scared of mathematics, some even think mathematics like a nightmare, they see at nights. What is the real cause behind this? Actually, mathematics is not as hard as it sounds, it seems hard because of the prejudice we have. Most of the people's fathers, mothers always say that "Mathematics is hard! I could never do it at high school, I always flunked!" and we keep saying it to our children. They grow up hearing that mathematics is hard. That's why they give up doing mathematics before even trying to understand it. Mathematics is not hard, but people make it sound like hard. You may not like mathematics, that can be accepted. But everyone can learn mathematics if they really want to learn, all we have to do is to leave our prejudice behind.
