I am having trouble learning how to do finance. I am currently working on my associates for business and the class i am currently taking is fundamentals of finance management. There is nothing fundamental about this class. I would really like to understand what it is she is teaching but after sitting there even for 2 minutes everything starts running together and the minute I walk out the door everything just vanishes. It does not matter how well my notes are. I have a feeling that there are many different ways to explain how to do one specific problem that it can get pretty difficult to understand what iti s they really want an answer for. One of the things I have gotten out of this class is there are a lot of formulas and algebra does factor into some equations but I gues what i would really like to know is what formulas go to what and how to figure them. I am very good at accounting but finance should not seem this difficult, and it could be the teacher. Is there any other methods you have to learn finance.

your professor might be the problem. I can't say you have a bad professor but some instructors aren't for some students.

As to the best way to learn finance I would probably say solve a lot of problems. What part are you struggling with in the fundamentals class? From what I remember that class has lots of similarities with an accounting class except additional PV and FV solutions and NPV.
