Second year Theoretical Physics is fucking me in the ass and first year went real smooth.Someone in a similar position?What should I do.

The mathematics.See our education system sucks a bit in my country so the mathematics department is always one step behind the physics.So we start using vectors before we touched it in the mathematics.Linear algebra was still handle able with some online resources but vector calculus for Electrodynamics is proving to be insanely difficult.

Go to libgen
Download any book about the topic
Read it
It's a topic that profits from visual aids, so there might be some stuff of youtube
Notation is also a huge pain in the ass, so be careful about that

Im taking from this you are still in the bachelor phase, boi just wait until you get into QFT and String Theory (if you do a master's).

Anyway I suggest finding some books with solution manuals and practicing the shit out of them until you are flawless.

To learn calculus we used: Robert A. Adams - Calculus: A complete course

The book and solutions manual are easily findable, it's also quite easy to read ahead and do exercises yourself. Good luck OP

Vector calculus ,integrals over volumes that sort of thing.Its for electrodynamics but the theory isn't the scary part.Last semester it was Hamilton mechanics and that equally ripped me a new one.

Besides the calculus textbook mentioned, if you had trouble with classical mechanics you should also look for a differential equations book

I know this now and am doing it in one of my subjects ,the physics is ironically my only struggling point just cause of how fast it's going.

do shit ton of exercises. there's no magic shortcut, just work your ass off.

you learned hamiltonian mechanics in the first year?
