Maths = Genetics?

Is Math something inherent or a learnable skill? As someone who has an IQ of 114 and is studying automation engineering, I find myself getting better at Math since I was never great at it.

But is it learnable or is there some genetic component to it?

Genuine question: what the fuck made you connect your math skills with genetics? Especially since your math skills weren't great before? Did you assume your genes improved too?

probably because you need/want to learn it.

mathematical ability is linked to general intelligence which is upwards of 80% heritable. do you think manipulating increasingly complex abstractions is something that doesn't depend on the integrity of your brain?

Like all things IQ, anything is learnable but people with higher IQs will learn faster

Education tends to favor high IQ people for this reason

What if someone excelled at all other classes except math?

It's both. It's like building muscle. You can improve, but there's a certain limit you can reach.

Wrong, not everybody can build muscle.

What about if they take steroids? I'm sure everyone can do at least something to build muscles.

I would think the limits are due to the exponential increase in complexity
I think a dumb person could learn high level math, they just don't have the time or focus
