Well, physics and maths are pretty intertwined, but there's other sorts of astronomy that don't need a huuuuge amount. Or, at least, not as much as astrophysics - all astronomy is going to have some maths in it, unfortunately.

For instance - how about planetary science? It still has maths in it, sure, but one of the better routes for planetary science is via geology (or, if astrobiology is your thing, biology), and they have less maths than physics.

As for learning maths, you just need to find the right teachers/tutors. After barely passing tenth grade maths and leaving school for several years, when I went back to finish twelfth grade, I got a high distinction* with help from a tutor :) And now I have a science degree - majoring in, uh, Museum Studies, granted, but I've done astronomy subjects and got high distinctions on all of those, too.


* 85 or above. I scored 88 in maths, and in the astronomy subjects I've done at uni, I've got 86, 89, 91, and 98.
