>and I am so lazy to the school works.
Never gonna make it unless you change that. Get motivated to exercise, eat well and study something of your interest. Don't worry too much about women for now, they'll come naturally along the way: girls like guys with a clear goal in life, talent, charisma and a decent job or power position. Poverty is not much of a problem if you're motivated: I live in a 3rd world shithole where some public parks have exercise machines, a healthy diet is not that expensive if you can cook and manage your budget well, there's some public libraries, I can pirate books with no problem and I'm currently studying maths with a government grant -- this year I'm doing TA duties.

That's great anon, hope you do just as well in your other courses. Don't listen to the memers, we love you

>I know that children are capable of much quicker and more robust learning but what gives?
Think about it this way: children are only taught to work mechanically through problems of certain, previously defined types, through the use of determinate formulae and solving strategies. On other hand, Gelfand actually challenges you to think for yourself: currently you're struggling with formulating the same arithmetic operations for a different base (binary). Children would've just been given the definitions for binary base and then told to work on some easy as shit exercises. That's why you think they learn "quicker" (they have less to learn) and "more robustly" (it's easier to incorporate a mechanical method than to exercise creativity in a problem).

Keep going at it and be confident on yourself.
