Hello

I recently enrolled into college as a CS major (been there for around 7 months). I am going to be taking Pre-Calc (part 2) near March of next year.

So /sci bros? How does one become passionate for Math, which as a result, make you better. I've read tons of peoples experiences studying for hours, every day, to then ultimately bomb the test or do average on it.

What I've found is that those who take the time to understand each concept, each theorem, and each method, are much better at that certain subject than others. However, I do not know how to develop a passion for math, as in, do more with it. I love math as a subject, Math is the way into understanding our universe. Already I do have some love for Math, but in terms of understanding it to a farther degree, I'm not there.

First off (rapid fire)
>What are some great math study habits?
>Tips for those who are teaching themselves through a textbook?

To end it really, just some advice for a starting STEM student would be good as well. I want to excel in Math, I really want to put in the effort. But bros, its so overwhelming, I don't know where to fucking start, or how to.
