Many people I speak to say that, when they were at school, they were put off mathematics because they simply didn’t get it. But half the challenge of learning math is accepting that you may not be naturally good at it, but if you put the effort in, you can learn it. As far as I’m aware, the only quote from me that has been made into a poster by teachers and put up in their classrooms is: “Mathematicians aren’t people who find math easy; they’re people who enjoy how hard it is.”
