I bet you tried to wing calculus instead of starting at the very bottom where your math skills were lacking
That shit aint gonna fly
It's a shame, cause you really can speendrun school math and learn it all within a few months, honestly a few weeks if you've got some bases down
After that you just gotta take uni math seriously and do your damn assignments

How did you not realize math and physics are the core of engineering?

what did you think engineering was

And anyway there are plenty of brainlet engineers and basic math up to calculus can be learned by anyone with average intelligence, usually just bad teachers and laziness are the barriers to those. You probably just tried to wing it like this anon >>10978679 said rather than start from the beginning. But it's weird though, after you failed one semester of Calculus 1 why didn't you just take college algebra or precalculus?

Also for some perspective I also wasted five years(closer to six years actually) of my life after HS, just being depressed and jacking off. Now I'm a semester away from graduating with a BS in EE at 28 so it's not like your life is over at your age. Though I was great at math in grade school and didn't forget as much as I would've thought.

I hope you're debt free at least.

This, i finished more than half of my highschool maths 3 months despite being a 130 iq midwit, i think op's problem (and most peoples problem honestly) is that he tries to memorise math instead of understanding the derivation of the formulas and developing intuition.

10 here, but I didn't even finish HS. I'm not sure I even understand how to be a student. First year undergrad.

How tf do you not get past calculus? I can kind of understand calc III, but calc I is literally just knowing derivatives and chain rule.
Aside from that, it's not over. Dont spend too long deciding what to do next and just commit to something. Maybe pick up a trade idk. But in any case life goes on.

dude just go to prison they take care of you for free in there.
and if you fear getting raped then I don't know why you're even alive, because life is the biggest rapist and it's constantly fucking us hard.
but really it's our own fault, just like sluts that dress like sluts that want to be raped ask "wtf I just dressed like a whore why did I get treated like one and get raped? so unfair." We set up our expectations unrealistically and don't consider reality enough, well at least for you. I personally learned to plan ahead. it's a good skill, learn it. expect failure and failsafes before failing.

It amazes me how many people don't realize this, and how nobody ever told them to do something different.
>>didn't even finish calculus and physics
How the fuck did your school's advisers even let you get away with this? Engineers are supposed to do that shit freshman year. How didn't you realize by the start of your third year that it may be a bad idea to stick to engineering
>>mfw I forgot everything I learned in highschool and now I wont pass another college entry exam
Most schools don't have entry exams, but why would you even want to return to college at this point

What’s the best way to teach yourself math and higher algebra? Furthest I got in college before I dropped out was trigonometry and I distinctly remember enjoying the learning process, it was like solving and puzzle which I greatly enjoy. I’m hoping to one day down the road get into material engineering, I’m already getting a lot of hands on experience on the manipulation of metals thanks to my career in welding/brazing/soldering. I’m probably the only one in my crew whose autistic enough to actually study what’s going on in the molecular level during welding and the joining of metals.

I meant as far as the math goes. You don't really need very advanced maths for IT, that's the biggest lie told every day. The extent that you can learn through e-learning is enough.

What's this whole "just take an actual one bro"?
Since this is a maths board, these matrices tests mesaure precepetual reasoning and working memory, Which is the ONLY thing that matters when doing maths. The "actual" ones measure a shit ton of other things that are useless to learning maths such as verbal reasoning.
