  Ha! Fast forward 6 year after undergrad and thats me. I'm doing the Khan academy series on calculus, starting with single variable calculus to refresh my math, to relearn the math for ML and Data Science. It's not my day job but I'm interested in the space so I can understand things under the hood instead of just using libraries. In college, I was more obsessed with getting an A in my classes, terrified of any lessor score, and all that at the cost of not understanding much at all but just repeating formulas and techniques on tests. For my kids some day, the biggest lesson I can teach them is that it's okay to fail. Getting straight As doesn't matter much at all, and you should always question things and think critically.

  On the other hand, a lot of things (not just in math) we think we understand are, in fact, simply memorized. And, by the way, that is not a bad thing - it is better to learn the multiplication table, for example, than to fail to "understand" it and give up. You can work on true understanding later; my advice, therefore, is to read as much as possible on a topic, however incomprehensible it may seem at first, just to get used to it and to make it look familiar, and do some exercises. You will soon feel that you understand something (even though you don't). That's the way we humans learn.
