How to know if you're good at math?

Question

What does it mean to be good in math? Is it a god given ability or do you have to work at it? Does it mean that you can turn out mental math all day long in your head or solve complex calculus derivatives and such....

Answer 1

being good in math isn't a god given ability. anyone can be good at anything if they try. for example if you go to school, ask your teacher what they think about your skills in math.you can find it out by yourself by doing lots of foundation maths so you can solve complicated calculations by just reading it once.

take my advice i was like this once. well don't trouble yourself.

The best way to know is to learn it, work at it, and use it.  You'll see if it's easier or harder for you compared to other fields.  There's enough math to learn just to be a competent citizen of modern society that it won't take any extra effort to test whether you're gifted in math.  But if you don't happen to take a chemistry class, you might never know whether that's your field.

Yes, it's an ability given by God, but yes, you have to work at it to develop it.  Same for all your other abilities.  The job of education is to teach you to think, develop your common skills to a minimal level, and expose you to enough for you to figure out what you enjoy, what you're good at, and what you can use to contribute to society and thus earn a living.

Even if you're good at math, there are fields within math you won't be good at, or won't care about.  You'll naturally get better at what you use.
