Is there a such thing as a math deficiency?

Unclear: Please clarify what you mean by "math" deficiency. Do you mean something to do with arithmetic or are you thinking of a slang word, "meth" for a drug?

Yes: I would not call it a deficiency, but we are not all the same when it comes to math, or for any other subject. Math is typically a right brain spacial subject while language is left .

NO: NO- some people, myself included, are not good at math: a college student who tutors will help immensely.
