The Simplifier

Rule 2: Know the Mathematical Operators and their Operations Mathematical operators are simply tools that determine the behaviour of a mathematical process. The operators tell us to join, separate, etc. What we want or are given determine the tools to be used. The basic mathematical tools are: + Plus [Addition (Summation)] - Minus [(Subtraction (Difference)] x Times [(Multiplication (Product)] ÷ Divide [Division (Quotient)] There are lots of other operators, such as roots, power, trigonometric functions, etc, but knowing the basic ones is a great step forward. Keynote Start by knowing the basic operators and how they behave.

Rule 1: Understand the Mathematical  principles/rules/theories There are a few general rules that must be observed in other to become better in mathematics. 1. Patience: Be patient with yourself and try things over and over again. 2. Note that there are only 10 numbers (digits) in the whole world, which are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. 3. Make Enquiries: you have to learn to use the right books, ask the right tutor(s) and don't be ashamed to make attempts. 4. Believe it is possible: Don't conclude hastily that a problem is not solvable. In fact, every problem is solvable provided the right steps and procedures are known. 5. Be ready to study different mathematical background rules because every mathematical aspect (topic) has rules associated to it. Be it Simple Algebra, Logarithm, Indices, Bearing and Construction, Geometry, Trigonometry, Longitude and Latitude, etc there is a rule guiding it – so don't be in a haste to start solving rath...
