I would argue that most people are not bad at math - they simply struggle to understand math on the same time frame as the test schedule. This may be due to inattention by the student, failure to actively engage in the class and the homework, failure of the teacher to explain the material adequately or an underlying learning disability.
The good news is, much of this can be addressed - learning disabilities can be diagnosed by a competent psychiatrist, students can learn better study and learning skills, teachers can re-explain material in a different way, a tutor can be hired, etc. The important part is to recognize that struggling to learn math doesn't mean a student is stupid or "bad at math" - it means he/she is struggling and should seek additional help.

Why is it that some people who are good at math have bad writing skills?
Given these two characteristics, there are four possibilities: Some people are good at math and have bad writing skills. Some people are good at math and have good writing skills. Some people are bad at math and have good writing skills. Some people are bad at math and have bad writing skills. Leaving aside what it means to be "good" or "bad" at these disciplines, it is likely that these groups of people have varying amounts of genetic predisposition for success at these aptitudes and their environments provided varying amounts of support or resistance to help them fulfill their levels of achievement. If you're suggesting a causal relationship, that to be "good" at one necessarily implies being "bad" at another, I don't think such generalizations are useful.
Why is it that some people are good at math but bad at essay writing?
Math is: you get problems, you solve them. English is: you get a topic, and you write anything you want, as long as it pertains to the topic. They are obviously not the same thing, so you will have people who are bad at English, who just happen to be good at Math.
Is it true that if you are good at math you can do physics?
It really depends. If you are good at understanding the concepts of math and you think you can grasp the concepts of physics (which is not bad at all), then you will do fine in physics. Physics is like 50% math 50% concepts. This is my second year of physics (I am doing Physics with Calculus now) and it really isn't as bad as most people think.
Why is it that some people who are good at math but bad at essays are also bad at programming in terms of writing code?
I highly doubt that you can generalize that. In other words, I doubt that all people, or most people who are good at math will be bad at programming.
Do most people like math?
me??? no but i pretty sure there are some people that like it very much but i hate it because I'm bad at it. (Here's a thought: Could you be bad at it because you hate it ?)

Is it true that people who are good at math and science are bad at English and humanities?
No.
Is engineering for people who are good at math but bad at writing and are left brained?
NO. The left side of the brain is believed to be expert at language, numbers, critical thinking, logic and reasoning. So if you are good in math, it is most likely that you are also good in writing. It is more appropriate to say that Engineering is for people who are interested in Math and they are left-brained people.
How is math a bad subject?
Math is challenging to most people because they're brain doesn't process the numbers or variables in a correct way. Also with all the different formulas and properties and rules, it can become quite challenging.
Why are some people good at math and bad at writing papers?
because they know more math and they don't have a creative mind for writing.
Why are some people good at science but bad at math?
That's hard to believe, unless it's conceptual science, then people need to be good at math to learn science
Why are bacteria bad math?
Bacteria are bad at math because they divide to multiply.
Will you do badly in physics chemistry and engineering if you are good at math but bad at programming?
Physics and engineering in college are almost all math, so you should have no problem there. You may be bad at programming a computer, but perhaps you are not so bad at being a user. For example in electronic or mechanical engineering you will use very sophisticated CAD and math software, but as a user; not really programming as a software engineer does. But I would say not to give up yet on programming. Everyone goes through what I call the "sweaty armpits" stage of programming, but after that most people (especially people who like math) really take to programming.
Is engineering for people who are good at math but bad at essay writing?
Actually engineering is for people that are good at engineering. There are people who are very good at math but would be terrible engineers. There are many kinds of engineers but all engineers have to deal with the real world. Most of them work for companies that expect to make a profit. Most successful engineers find themselves in middle management before long . Many engineers use very little higher math once they go to work. Math for engineers is only a tool for solving problems and it is not the only tool. Most problems are solved by applying what has worked before.
Why are some people great at math but bad at English writing?
It's just the way your brain works. Some people are good at art, others get music, others get math. It can't really be changed.
