Wow - this is a topic I never expected to see here but I have math anxiety in a big way! I fell behind in grade school in math and never really caught up. I ultimately went to nursing school, for which you need math, but a good friend who is a math whiz set up an easy algebra formula for me that I could use to calculate anything. After graduation, I literally carried that formula on a notecard (this was before electronics) at work every day to calculate medication dosages and IV drips. I never recall making an error!

I later went to graduate school and had to take two statistics courses but somehow I found that interesting and not like math at all.

I suppose my advice would be what someone else mentioned ... get some help when you run up against math that you don't understand. It is what I had to do.
