>Fuck off losers, just because you dedicate the majority of your time here, doesn't mean people with self control can't relax every now and then.

You do realise you are on 4Chan: the arsehole's armpit of the internet.

And considering they've already produced more than you will your entire life you don't really have a right to say how other people should spend their time.

>No, the majority of /sci/ happens to be successful and intelligent.

If you aren't either headed for grad-school or already have your PhD or you're a PrEng you really shouldn't be posting on /sci/.

>Not allowed to have an interest in science outside of school

>Seriously. There is no reason for you to be on our board posting your stupid pop-sci nonsense and homework. Get the fuck off our board.

>our board,

exactly!

I'm a first year math student.
I'm doing well when it comes to pure math. I understand it, can do proofs, get good grades.

However, I'm shit when it comes to applied math - even the most basic. I often run into equations and exercises which require novel (for me) approaches, and I just can't solve them. I then have to ask other people how to solve them, and I could never think of the approaches they used on my own, even though I understand them.

How do I get better at applied math? Do I just do a shitton of exercises, until I get familiar with all the approaches and methods?
