wtf i thought engineering was a science

why is applied math in physics and chemistry so logical and easy to follow but all pure math courses are pure clusterfuck?

applying calculus in my thermodynamics classes, statics, dynamics, strength theory etc is really intuitive, but then my pure math classes are just pure confusion
