I bet you tried to wing calculus instead of starting at the very bottom where your math skills were lacking
That shit aint gonna fly
It's a shame, cause you really can speendrun school math and learn it all within a few months, honestly a few weeks if you've got some bases down
After that you just gotta take uni math seriously and do your damn assignments

Get a construction job, a wife and family. Stop trying to be something you're not. You're just a lowly pleb.

How did you not realize math and physics are the core of engineering?

>realize math and physics is the core of engineering

what did you think engineering was

And anyway there are plenty of brainlet engineers and basic math up to calculus can be learned by anyone with average intelligence, usually just bad teachers and laziness are the barriers to those. You probably just tried to wing it like this anon >>10978679 said rather than start from the beginning. But it's weird though, after you failed one semester of Calculus 1 why didn't you just take college algebra or precalculus?

>>10978696
All I did as a teenager (and still do) was jerk off and play vydia. I didnt know shit about anything.

>>10978723
Also for some perspective I also wasted five years(closer to six years actually) of my life after HS, just being depressed and jacking off. Now I'm a semester away from graduating with a BS in EE at 28 so it's not like your life is over at your age. Though I was great at math in grade school and didn't forget as much as I would've thought.

I hope you're debt free at least.

Story of our generation brother.

>>10978645
so low iq people do exist

Anybody know how to insert years of high school maths and discipline in my brain to go in IT please i'm desperate

>>10978679
>It's a shame, cause you really can speendrun school math and learn it all within a few months, honestly a few weeks if you've got some bases down
This, i finished more than half of my highschool maths 3 months despite being a 130 iq midwit, i think op's problem (and most peoples problem honestly) is that he tries to memorise math instead of understanding the derivation of the formulas and developing intuition.

>>10978762
>>10978770
10 here, but I didn't even finish HS. I'm not sure I even understand how to be a student. First year undergrad.

What the hell happened to us? I don't even remember my childhood really.

>>10978798
>go in IT
literally just do the whole of khan academy or any e-learning course and you'll be fine

>>10978856
I'll be a code monkey or learn real skills to express my creativity and shiet ?

>>10978813
>what the hell happened
life

>>10978645
>be me
>investment banker at the 23
>make a ton of money but unhappy because I want to so science and help people
We all suffer, op. Anyway, is enrolling into biology at 27 a good idea?

>>10978951
Both? Your creativity depends on your desire to be creative

>>10978645
How tf do you not get past calculus? I can kind of understand calc III, but calc I is literally just knowing derivatives and chain rule.
Aside from that, it's not over. Dont spend too long deciding what to do next and just commit to something. Maybe pick up a trade idk. But in any case life goes on.

>>10978958
If you can pay it off, go for it.

if i were you the first chance i had in killing myself would have already been taken

At least you can grow muscles OP.

>>10978964
By that i mean if i could understand the concepts and all to get the skills and be Zucc-tier one day i pray for it

>>10978645
dude just go to prison they take care of you for free in there.
and if you fear getting raped then I don't know why you're even alive, because life is the biggest rapist and it's constantly fucking us hard.
but really it's our own fault, just like sluts that dress like sluts that want to be raped ask "wtf I just dressed like a whore why did I get treated like one and get raped? so unfair." We set up our expectations unrealistically and don't consider reality enough, well at least for you. I personally learned to plan ahead. it's a good skill, learn it. expect failure and failsafes before failing.

>>10978723
What would be some good basic courses or books for basic algebra?

>>10978645
>realize math and physics is the core of engineering
It amazes me how many people don't realize this, and how nobody ever told them to do something different.
>>didn't even finish calculus and physics
How the fuck did your school's advisers even let you get away with this? Engineers are supposed to do that shit freshman year. How didn't you realize by the start of your third year that it may be a bad idea to stick to engineering
>>mfw I forgot everything I learned in highschool and now I wont pass another college entry exam
Most schools don't have entry exams, but why would you even want to return to college at this point
>>10978753
Respectable

>>10979006
Im about to graduate from EE and im jacked

>>10979364
>Most schools don't have entry exams
He's probably Brazilian.

What’s the best way to teach yourself math and higher algebra? Furthest I got in college before I dropped out was trigonometry and I distinctly remember enjoying the learning process, it was like solving and puzzle which I greatly enjoy. I’m hoping to one day down the road get into material engineering, I’m already getting a lot of hands on experience on the manipulation of metals thanks to my career in welding/brazing/soldering. I’m probably the only one in my crew whose autistic enough to actually study what’s going on in the molecular level during welding and the joining of metals.

>>10979551
Funny thing is, your not alone with the welding experience. I too am a welder; MIG and stick. But the funny thing is all ready have a bachelors degree in physics. I just decided to do welding.

>>10979560
Good to see I’m not the only one, I would like to continue my education and I know I can do it but I really wanted to get some practical experience and skills while I was young. Plus there’s something about the sequencing in pipewelding that tickles my autism

Literally me, negro. Go to sleep Dmitri. There are exams to study for. It's not over yet.

>>10978951
I meant as far as the math goes. You don't really need very advanced maths for IT, that's the biggest lie told every day. The extent that you can learn through e-learning is enough.

>hit calc 2 when I realize I'm a fucking brainlet
>luckily most of my credits transferred to my next degree path
>no debt beause scholarship

>>10978645
Do it faggot

>>10978645
I managed to pass engineering collage and I'm still highly suicidal, if it makes you feel any better

>>10978645
what do you not understand about calculus ?

>>10978798
As someone who has actually worked in IT as a linux sysadmin, you don't need any of that big brain stuff whatsoever.

Go get a trade then.

>>10978645
>tfw exact opposite
>always had a pretty solid grasp on mathematics but never fell for the STEM meme
>just want to do a bunch of remote contractor type shit for a few weeks at a time and ride off the money earned, basically just bouncing around all over the country/planet
Does this make me a reverse retard?

>>10978808
>130iq
>midwit
c'mon lad

>>10981545
I know, right? Looking at a bell curve and it's obvious that people within the 85-100 and 100-115 deviations are the midwits.

>>10982832
And that's where most of /sci/ lies if they took an actual IQ test instead of shitty online matrices tests.

>>10982833
What's this whole "just take an actual one bro"?
Since this is a maths board, these matrices tests mesaure precepetual reasoning and working memory, Which is the ONLY thing that matters when doing maths. The "actual" ones measure a shit ton of other things that are useless to learning maths such as verbal reasoning.
