Engineering course has a lot of math subjects. I have known that before I took up my Engineering course. I am afraid for I am not really good in math and I really do have a hard time understanding it that I almost cry because whatever I do I still could not understand it. Math is my weakness and I did took it to be my strength, I took up Engineering to study and understand better this subject, lucky me I did finish my course and had even learn to love math much. It is not all the time that our weakness will make us nothing. If we know how to dwell with our weaknesses we will surely make it as our strength.

Hi ginspearl, i am also an engineering graduate and weak in maths. I have cleared my calculus and linear algebra courses in one go with a very little effort. belive me i am a guy who don't know how to take the integral of x square yet i cleared those two courses so i am very much positive about you being a good engineer even if you're weak at maths. stay blessed.

Wow! So you are already a graduate? What specific engineering course did you take. I also took up engineering. Civil engineering to be exact. At first, I don't love math that much. But I always believe that when your course is engineering, no matter what happens, you will eventually love math. And now, I just found myself loving math subject. And I'm just surprise to know that I could already teach simple math. Actually when my older brother was reviewing for civil service exam, I am the one who taught here in math subject. I find it easy answering simple math subjects.

Hi ginspearl Once i aspired to take engineering course but time didn't allow me to do engineering course. I felt a lot for that, am now a b.b.a student. You got that; just try hard...

Hi gins! Even I'm an engineering graduate and I struggled a lot to clear maths papers! I cant say that I'm week in mathematics because I have scored 84% in my school final exam! I think we can over come think by increasing our interest on mathematics and also the time spend on it! Did you try for any tuition for mathematics alone? I think that will do good if you even don't have hope of clearing mathematics! To be frank I have kept arrears in mathematics and also did not find it difficult to clear it! But always keep in mind that you you start backlogging you need to work more for the up coming semesters! This is the basic logic to reduce the work lode semester after semester in engineering course! Happy graduating and lotting!!
