I am in a bad engineering school since I didn't study hard enough during high school. The problem is, this eng school didn't require high level of math nor physics to get into. Professors are unenthusiastic, and most students are coming from technical schools and are more versed in physics and maths than I am. The good ones of course. I am here learning what work and power are, and barely know the basics of integral calculus. When our professors go through the slides of their presentations and stumble across some integral explanations, they just brush it off and say that shit is too difficult for us, we're too dumb to understand. I can't even fucking read engineering drawings, that's the absolute worst professor that concluded everyone knew this shit back from high school (he thinks we all came from tech schools) and didn't teach us shit.

What I'm saying is, I am struggling heavily, and am basically just cramming to pass the tests at this point. Not a good idea if I'm willing to be an engineer, let alone a competitive one.

If I take up a maths or a physics book to study, I am just overwhelmed with info and math notation, I can't read those. I was never taught that in school.

My question is, what can I do to catch up and actually learn the maths and physics at a more intuitive level, and learn to read and understand complicated math explanations?
I want to start from the very very basics (I am decent at algebra) of physics and work my way up to the calculus based physics.

I don't want to finish an engineering school and not even know what I studied because I had to cram everything.

Spend semester passing courses, spend summer break working on improving your theoretical background.
