Many factors affect learning difficulties, including interests, motivation, parental support, parental income levels, and so on.

The population in this study is students from various universities in the city of Bandung. Data were collected by random sampling techniques, using a questionnaire to 100 respondents.

The results of inferential statistical analysis show that interest (X1), learning motivation (X2), parental support (X3), parents' income level (X4), and the number of dependent children (X5) together have an effect on mathematics learning difficulties. student (Y) in the city of Bandung, which is indicated by the F-count value of 11.275 is greater than the F-table value of 2.30. The pattern of influence between these six variables is expressed by the multiple regression equation.
