Oh wow. So it looks like that the reason why I suddenly got 'bad' at math towards the end of high school might be due to the switch to this hyper-formal way of teaching mathematics, instead of using a more geometric/physic way ?
- andi999 6y agoCould be. Although high school (at least where I am) only teaches a tiny drop of mathematics (so the other style is also difficult.). But generally the is an adaptation problem/challenge in the first two semesters of math students where usually only solving a lot of problem and getting them corrected helps. But dont worry, these things can be overcome (do not fight them at your current stage if you are still a student). Just dont believe the 'hours needed' in the description of the modules (they are politically decided). Generously work around the clock for the first few years..... edit: more seriously: although working hard is important: go to the office hours of your TA and/or prof and discuss the work you are doing. Usually no student does that and you will learn a lot.
