What specifically do you not like about it. And I don’t just mean “it’s too hard”, what specifically is hard?

I feel like most people would like mathematics, but the education system failed them, teaching in a way that’s not enjoyable.

    I dont understand it. Most I can do is multiply. Can’t do long division on paper.

    Never got it in school, failed algebra 101 3 times. Only passed by hours of tutoring every day.

    I enjoy applied math if its something like calculating tolerances while building an engine, but I cant figure out an algebra equation or do large multiplication stuff at all.

    I dont know what multiplication tables are either. I just know how to count up so if I need 8x3 I count 8,16, ah, 24!

    Also diagnosed adhd and likely autism doesn’t help.

    I wish I liked math, because I love computers and mechanical engineering etc but its always held me back. Luckily my job now requires applied thinking not really math so I get to mostly do interesting stuff without complex math.
