I think maths is something you can tell yourself you are bad at but if you apply yourself then you can learn it. At least that was true for me.

I know that in the US you learn calculus in high school whereas we don't usually do it unless we choose to do ALevel Maths, which you wouldn't do if you were really bad at it.

Maths can get really hard, but I find that it's matter of learning things in order if that makes sense? So you wouldn't attempt to learn calculus before algebra for example, but if you were to jump right into calculus text books without knowing algebra then it will look impossible.

Everything but basic stuff. Equations are like an alien language to me.

Unless you're going into engineering or something, it's not that big a deal.
