text: how do you improve your maths? anyone has a good method to mathematically train your brain? i am an undergraduate majoring in actuarial science.  this course requires the students to be extremely good in maths.  how can i improve my ability to do maths questions? i took only maths 'c' in college. i didn't take 'f' maths. students doing tough mathematical courses are welcomed to answer my question. one more thing. please don't just tell me to keep practising the questions. maybe you would like to tell me other tactics or subjects that i should study so that i can give my brain a better training. you need to know where your problem starts, there are some really good math books, named programed...math algebra, geometry, etc.  the problem usually is flawed logic somewhere along the line.  college book store should have programmed books, and do not fear asking for assistance from professor or other students.  you are in a really tough course but stick with it, the rewards are fantastic.  i am talking about your very important future  oh yeah keep practicing.
