Too many people falsely believe that they’re naturally deficient in math and science when the real problem is their approach, not their abilities. How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra)Ī Mind for Numbers: How to Excel at Math and Science (Even If You Flunked Algebra) (2014) by Barbara Oakley is a collection of learning strategies for students of all ages. We all have what it takes to excel in areas that don't seem to come naturally to us at first, and learning them does not have to be as painful as we might think. The learning strategies in this book apply not only to math and science, but to any subject in which we struggle. Rather, it involves taking the time to step away from a problem and allow the more relaxed and creative part of the brain to take over. In short, studying a problem in a laser-focused way until you reach a solution is not an effective way to learn. For example, there are more than three hundred different known proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Most people think that there's only one way to do a problem, when in actuality, there are often a number of different solutions-you just need the creativity to see them.

Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as analytical, thinking. Oakley lets us in on the secrets to learning effectively-secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they'd known earlier.
