Anyone have advice for a brainlet looking to become better in math?
I can't wrap my head around limits and calculus. Tutors cost $80/mo for only a few hours. YouTube videos just gloss over everything. My calculus professor basically has a read the book and teach yourself attitude. He gives homework but doesn't explain how to solve the homework problems. Yeah I paid 3 grand to be told just teach myself, college is a scam...anyway.

How the fuck are you supposed to learn this stuff? I want to pass calculus 1 and 2 but I don't even know what I'm supposed to be studying. There dozens of different things to memorize.

Depends on your level. You can learn a lot from just yt alone

Just learn the definition and intuition behind a limit. It's not that hard bro.

Literally just do 1000 example questions. That is how you learn. Nobody who isn’t already in a state of flow due to accumulated years of intense study will just look at a math book and learn it all in 10 seconds.

basically do: >>11732426 and then use online forums for free tutoring on questions you don't understand

Then don't waste your time going to his """lectures""", get your ass in the library and work through the resources. I can gurantee you that there's more on the bookshelves than there is in your shitty prof's head.
