Can you learn finance if you are not good at math?
First of all, "finance" is a relatively broad concept, corresponding to many specific fields of knowledge, and its application in the real world corresponds to many specific occupations and work contents.

For example, you may become a quantitative investment analyst, hedge fund trader and strategy researcher. These occupations usually require a lot of mathematics. If you are always bad at math, you can only kiss goodbye.

However, there are other occupations, such as investment bank analyst, venture capitalist, trust manager, insurance sales, bank teller and corporate finance personnel, which have low requirements for mathematics and are even limited to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

You may think you have heard a good news, but wait a minute, there are several things you must pay attention to:

If you want to engage in academic research, good math is a necessary condition;

For occupations with low math requirements, you are usually required to be "sensitive to numbers", that is to say, you should be able to find out key information or regular things from a large number of financial data, but you can't get dizzy when you see numbers;

Even if the first two hypotheses are successfully evaded by you, poor undergraduate mathematics will affect your study of many professional courses (macro/microeconomics, econometrics, etc.). ), thus affecting your GPA and resume, and ultimately affecting your job search/going abroad;

Most importantly, if you are not good at math because of "systematic reasons" in personality or ability, such as laziness and poor learning ability, then being bad at math means that you are poor in many other aspects, which will eventually have a long-term adverse impact on your study and work.

In my opinion, what's really important is that you figure out what bad math means and what consequences it will lead to, and then decide what to do next (try to make up for it, find another way and ignore it).
