What's the antonym of the word "擅长"?
I know "我擅长数学" means "I'm good at mathematics", but how would you say "I'm bad at mathematics"?

you can just use the word 不,it's negative. The sentence 我不擅长数学 has the same meaning of I am bad at math. using the 不 is simple . 拙于 is not in so common use I think.

Actually, usually , We don't say “擅长”。 In most case, "擅长" use to ask somebody or Appear in your resume. such as
A:你擅长做什么工作?
Q:销售。 or 我做销售比较拿手。
I'm good at math , we say "我数学很好"commonly。
I'm bad at math , we say “我数学不好 or 我数学很差、我数学不行”

The literally translation for "I'm not good at mathematics" is “我不擅长于数学”。
but for "I'm bad at mathematic", you can also say "我数学很差“ [My mathematics is bad], which is more common in spoken Chinese.
