Your followup question might be So how come he did badly at the Math courses the first time around? and my response is, he hadn't developed enough problem-solving skills yet. He'd run up against a tough example, try one or two ways to solve the problem, then give up. I'm going to try to stay on top of his progress this time, and make sure that he understands each week's work.
Personally I know loads of great developers who a lousy at maths, and a moderate number of great maths folks who are lousy developers. So I wouldn't worry myself.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
