I got admited to study my dream course in a fed uni, bt am a kind of finding it hard with maths though stil practising to know it. How do i cope pls. Is acct all about maths. I lv acct wit passion. Accountants pls advice me. Thanks

Bro, if I may ask, which area of mathematics do you have problem with?

@ Emmanuel
I know some part of Algebra and business mathematics, the fact is that i have forgotten most of the maths I know due to poor background, I really i want to be good in it. How do i cope. Thanks.

Pls. Great accountants i need ur advice. Thanks

As an Accounting student,You don't need indepth understanding of maths.Identifying,measuring,recording,classifying,interpreting and communicating financial information,which is what Accounting is all about requires only basic maths operation addition,subtraction,division and multiplication.Understand the principles of double entry and a few others and you shall have no problems with FA.All the best.

There's no maths in Accounting. It's enough to be simply numerate. If you ever decide to solve for x, you'll be going the extra mile, and that'll be commendable.

Businesstools and sam thanks, i know basic maths, is just that i heard that apart frm acounting they do lots of maths such as calculus, college algebra and lots of them. Am asking b/c am only average. Thanks 4 ur reply.
