[quote=Anonymous]I was always terrible in math, all the way through high school. The best day of my life was learning that I didn't need to take any more math in my senior year of high school. Twenty years later I decided to apply to graduate school and needed to take the GRE. I had to teach myself math -- algebra, geometry, fractions, percents, ratios, etc. all over again. Actually it felt like the first time I'd ever see the stuff; that's how little I retained from high school. To make a long story short, I ended up getting a decent GRE math score -- enough to get me into a PhD program (not in math, but still...). Moral of the story, I guess, was that when I needed to learn math as an adult for my own purposes I did so. Until then, it was rough. Still, like others here have said, even with poor math grades I managed to get into a decent college (Ivy League, actually). So there's definitely hop for your DD.[/quote]
