Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. -

Math doesn't always add up.
Math sometimes is a four-letter word. Dealing with equations, etc., with projects can sometimes be overwhelming ... especially to newbies. Unfortunately, it can't be avoided in many cases.
What level of math skills do you think are necessary to progress through the ranks of beginner, novice, and expert levels of competency in electronics hobbyism?
How does having only basic level math skills create limits on what can be done with electronics, or does it?

BUILD A HEADSET AMPLIFIER
This amp can be driven by a CD or MP3 player, and can drive a good high fidelity headset of about 32 ohms, and as high as 600 ohms and beyond. Some high-end audio folks consider integrated circuit operational amplifiers not to be very good ... something about too many transistors in the signal path. This circuit uses all discrete components - no more and no less than required to provide wide bandwidth and low distortion.

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. -
