What matters the most is that you did it despite all the ups and downs. And i bet it was quite a journey. With that being said can you share any resources you used for calculus and discreet maths? I am currently stuck at calculus and don't know if i should use khan academy or this book? I bought the straightline membership and don't like the course material and the layout.
Lol this is so true, I bought the straightline membership with their calculus course and i am not really liking it. khan academy and this book is all i needed tbh lol.
I don't mind straightline as i will be using their proctored exams but yea if anyone is reading this comment then give Khan academy a chance before you spend money on straightline and the lay out is way better.Some of the videos on straightline look like their were recorded in the 90s tbh.
I dont think you need to necessarily give a real life application for mathematics. It's quite a conceptual thing. Math has its own world. Graphs, equations and geometry is its world. And you revolve around it trying match things together and come to a conclusion.
I'm not entirely disagreeing with you. Trust me, it was a pain in the ass to understand limits without having a single clue why am I learning it for. But when you are learning a really minute and standalone concept, there is a very little chance that you have an exact real life application for it. Growing up, I think you were much comfortable with say, "Jimmy has 5 apples he gets 2 more how many does he have now? " rather than "5 + 2" and it get that you were used it to it. But when you are learning something more advanced, you need to visualize the whole numbers and weird spaghetti letters as something you feel easy to understand and process. I dont think anybody does that for you.
Applications of maths lies within other subjects say physics and you cant expect a math teacher to apply physics to his purely theoretical mathematics concept. When you learn something in physics and understand something in maths, it's you who is supposed to link both of them together.
And you mentioned "Trying to memorize proofs" I have no clue why you would do that. Proofs are meant to make you realize how the property or formula has come to existence. And I find it completely useless to memorize proofs.
If you are struggling in calculus I highly recommend the above book. Its perfectly put together.
Also you can't just master maths by working out 2 or 3 problems. You need a ton of practice to really understand what's going on.

I know you did not ask for a book, but Calculus for Dummies may help you, it really helped me a lot https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Mark-Ryan/dp/1119293499 the author explains concepts really well imo. You can probably get a copy in zlibrary or libgen, good luck
