>>10953116It's legit just practice and dedication. If you work through similar stuff enough then you'll just kind of realize what you need to do before you even have time to write it out. Once you hit that point you'll fall into shorthand, and you'll start skipping steps altogether. Then you'll get to a point where you're only writing stuff out again when you need to work through a type of problem you've never really had to work with before again, and at that point you'll still probably be skipping most of the little things anyway because it will have become "trivial"
You probably already do that with algebra to a certain extent. Calculus just takes more time.
If you work at it you'll get there. If nothing else, more practice won't hurt, so long as you make sure you're taking enough time to do all of your other coursework and make sure you're not burning yourself out of course.
>>10951645Some people legitimately have a better time with calculus. A lot of those people are in the "Math sucks" crowd and then they start working with calculus, which seems so different, and then they see how it relates to algebra and everything clicks and they go "Ohh, so that's why it works like that, I get it now!"
