I'm struggling with the maths bigtime. After 50+ years without algebra it's going to be my downfall I suspect. That and finding time. Whatever happens I'm going to carry on with the course, my results may be abysmal but there is still a lot to be learned and who needs a certificate anyway, especially at my age !!
I totally understand time-wise, with 2 teenage kids to deal with it was a difficult challenge. Although Maths is all about study time and not so much about the practicality of algebra use. After starting calculus last 2 semesters algebra is almost second hat. I have never had to use Algebra much over the years as well until now
