<p>Well that’s the million dollar question. There really is no hard and fast rule, as everyone is different. Most of the time you sort of have to just find what works for you. For me, I found working in groups so we could help each other out to be the most helpful. Later on, in graduate school, I found that doing that and reading the book a lot more closely than I had as an undergraduate turned out to work really well for me. That doesn’t work for everyone though.</p>
<p>I do think the one universal rule is that, while you don’t have to be a math genius, you do need to be on a solid mathematical footing and comfortable with it.</p>
