    Math is a lot artier than it seems when it's taught in school. Borrow a nice calculator (most high schools have TI-83s for that) and muck around with it for an hour or two-- a lot of the fundamentals of modern mathematics become obvious without you being told if you happen to chance upon them. If not, just ask someone who thinks like you for help-- math is never as hard as a concept you don't yet understand seems. If you don't get it after a trying for a while, you're not going to get it unless you learn it a different way. Skip ahead a few pages in the book. There's usually some elaboration that the publisher didn't think was necessary earlier that makes it perfectly clear (or a process for doing it that's 3 times simpler). As for programming, start with the easy stuff. There are some nice introductory programming languages like game maker that will introduce you to object oriented concepts in a way that makes it easier the grasp than just throwing you into a real world language. Always do the tutorial-- they will save you untold frustration. Start small, transition into the real stuff slowly (game maker is great for that, the built in scripting language parallels the drag-and-drop beginner interface to allow a gradual transition at whatever rate your comfortable with), and remember that all programming languages can be reduced to learning a new kind of grammar, and if it seems to complicated, just look at the part that isn't until you're ready to mess around with the hard stuff. You're not going to make a commercial quality software in a day-- give yourself a chance to learn. Computer Languages are remarkably simple once you learn them; I've found that once you pick it up, it becomes as fluent as your native language, because you're actually thinking in computer terms rather than translating your words into someone else's.

    If you need to, pick up a book. I'd say that "for the absolute beginner" is the best franchise I've read and would recommend for someone like you. If you want soul-crushingly boring reference text, O'Reilly's "In a nutshell" is good too, but avoid it if you're just starting. I got into PHP in a day with FTAB and an existing programming background, and IAN got me started with HTML 10 years ago. Just, avoid Java unless you're really serious about this. That stuff is like trying to run underwater.

    If you have difficulties learning something, than it may not be you; it may be the way you are being taught. For math: a teacher that answers all of your questions and works through problems with the class is better than a teacher that tells you to read the book, doesn't answer your questions, and expects you to understand everything.

    Same goes for programming; it's dependant on the programming language and how it is presented. Like right now, I'm learning my sixth or seventh programming language, Python, and the Book: Python Programming For the Absolute Beginner -- presents it clearly to me. Has you create games to learn the code, and goes through all the lines to explain what is going on and why.

    Just find how you learn best, and learn using that method.

    P.S. -- If you want help learning a programming language, you can just e-mail me, and I'll try to make some customized tutorials.

    I stonly disagree with your premise. If you have difficulty learning something, that does NOT you shouldn't try to learn it. Math and computer science can be difficult. They can be fun as well. If you have trouble learning math and computer science, get a tutor to help you. I believe any person of reasonable intelligence can learn math and computer science. Make a game of them. Have fun.

    If you have difficulties in something it doesn't mean that your not supposed to learn it, it just means that you need to excel your knowledge into a different area of life, hope this helps (:

    If you adopt this principle, anyone having a problem adding or subtracting should give up. How do they then deal with money? A person has problems with speech, so they give up. It does not work. If someone has a problem with something they should try harder. I would sooner hire someone with poor maths, but who is obviously trying to improve, than someone with natural maths aptitude who can't be bothered to try at something they are not so good at.

    Sorry, yet i think of you have lost your e mail account - the completed factor of secret questions and option e mail addresses is to furnish you a back door to get into your account in case you _do_ ignore your password. i haven't used hotmail for a protracted time, yet as far as i understand you're locked out of it until eventually you are able to undergo in recommendations the two your password or secret answer. perchance next time you need to establish a secret answer you are able to undergo in recommendations - it rather is definitely considered one of the factors of it.
