“Mathematics is the queen of the sciences” – Carl Fiedrich Gauss This paper mainly focuses on problems in understanding Mathematics through English for the learners from rural areas to pursue programmes in engineering. Mathematics is the mother of all subjects. It is considered as an important subject in all the professional colleges. It is very difficult to understand engineering Mathematics. When students get the Maths question paper in English, instruction is not the problem.. But if it comes with the combination of syntax and technical vocabulary, it creates problem. Word problems involving implication in English are the hardest for the students. This paper confines the difficulties of the students in learning engineering Mathematics. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
