For the love of God, I cannot find the motivation to learn calculus. I'm like 1-2 weeks behind schedule on it and the teacher is probably gonna start giving out assignments soon, but I can't sit down and fucking study. It's not that I don't like math, I just don't like studying. The only way I study is when I'm pressured by an assignment/test deadline, that's how I always did it, but now I'm in college. I'm not studying just to get a passing grade, I need a fucking A and, above all, I need to learn the damn thing. But I can't find the patience to study without the threat of getting a low grade, so I let everything accumulate and then learn everything in a day or two, just enough to get a B+ or something like that. I'm hating myself for that, and I have to fix it asap. I guess I'll try studying again tomorrow...

    3Blue1Brown on YouTube is a really nice channel with a very visual take on teaching math.
    He's made series on Linear Algebra, a bit of Signal Processing, and Calculus. Maybe you could give it a whirl ?

    @CptFox oh I love that channel, his videos are great. I didn't know he made series on this kind of stuff, I will for sure take a look at them. They're surely better than a 90min zoom recording of my teacher doing math in Word...

    I remember I had to go to my friend to study from same book and there was very little information in it about differential equations and I had exam the next day and I didn’t know anything about it.
    There were 3 equations to solve within 2 hours. Two of them were just to pass exam 1/2 score and could be solved in 1 hour or you can solve third that was 1/2 score.
    I remember I solved all of 3 and had one of highest grades in group and that involved lots of struggle and at some point pure luck cause I didn’t know what I was doing.
    Now it’s a piece of cake to know how to solve such things, knowledge is laying everywhere in the internet, there are many forms to learn and understand problems.

    @vane yeah, everything's much easier today. I took a look at 3Blue1Brown's calculus series as @CptFox suggested and it helped a lot. I feel so lucky to have this kind of content for free and just a few clicks away and I can't imagine the world without google.
