text: With a teacher that can teach it in a way you can understand it. Anything is very easy once you know how, but most books explain it in complicated ways so it seems complicated. \n\nIf you know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide, then the rest is just applying different rules to change the equations.\n\nI took a college calculus class twice and failed. The first thing the instructors did was take out a ti-85 calculator and we started. The third time I took the class, it was with a Janapese instructor who did not allow calculators in the class. He explained it so easy I couldn't believe it. So a good instructor is your best chance at learning math with ease.
