Abstract
Math anxiety is one of the psychological factors that affect students- math skills and achievement. Math-anxious individuals often stay away from or skip mathematics classes, take up fewer mathematics courses, and have lower confidence in the subject compared to their non-anxious peers. These behaviours are often displayed by business and manage-ment students at the university. With the increasing demand for STEM-skilled graduates, math anxiety in business and management students should be overcome so that they can become relevant in the future industry. This paper discusses how interactive e-learning can reduce students- math anxiety and develops their mathematical resilience for effective learning.
