This is like asking "why is science hard for some people?"

People are different, and their brains are different.

Algebra is hard for some people because they have not learned the skills needed to begin. If a person does not learn enough basic math, algebra is almost impossible! You need to be very good at times tables, fractions and be able to math in your head. You also need to understand negative numbers very well. If you do not understand these things, you cannot understand algebra. You may be able to take an algebra class, but it will be very hard for you.

Algebra is hard for some students because they are not ready to learn an "abstract" subject like algebra. "Asbstact" subjects involve ideas that are only in your head, and you cannot touch or see them. A person has to be at a certain stage of growth before he/she is ready to learn algebra.

And, it algebra is hard for some people just because they do not like it. It is hard to learn anything you do not like, and are not interested in.

No matter why a person finds it hard, there are always ways to help them make it easier. Please talk honestly to your math teacher if it is hard for you. She can help you find ways to succeed!

some people dont understand math maybe they get confused!!!!!!

What math do most college freshmen start in?

Generally, passing College Algebra (or higher) is required for most degrees. Since College Algebra is difficult, it is not a good idea to start there. Usually, the college won't let you start there.
