I admit that I initially found algebra to make absolutely no sense. This was because it was being taught as theory using only symbols*. The instructor did not understand why I could not get it. Once I explained that I saw no relation to reality and all I saw was a, b, c, x, y etc. She took a problem and punched numbers into it. Immediately the light went one. From then on math was never an issue until I got to calculus. If you have an instructor that cant teach you have a real problem *yes I understand that numbers themselves are merely symbols
