>>13853814>>13853814buy old textbooks off Amazon. you can get hardcover ones for 10 bucks. do the problems in them.
create your own problems, and make them comical. for example, yesterday I did the derivative tan^-1(ln(ln(ln3xcsc56x^3/7^x+5)))
doing crazy shit like that is incredibly rewarding to your learning experience.
do it every fuckin day until you want to kill yourself. trust me, buying old textbooks and doing the problems helped so much.
most of all professors matter. get a good professor that clicks with you and that actually cares. I tell students (I tutor prealgebra up to calc1) to take calculus at a community college. the class sizes are smaller and professors actually care about you. for real. in university you're just a person in a crowd. at CC you can be somebody to your professor/instructor. that's what I did.
even though that professor failed me, I have met her outside of campus and thanked her. because of her I love math, and calculus 2 is for the most part really straight forward because my basis in calc1 is as solid as concrete.
tl;dr: buy old textbooks (they're really cheap), make ridiculously hard problems for yourself (even if you get them wrong you learn), and do math until your brain hurts (literally you get headaches).
thank you guys for asking me for advice, that actually made my night :)
