It's funny because while I don't consider myself "good at math", I'd always learned math by learning the fundamentals, and deriving what I need at exam time, since I find memorizing leads me to (a) go insane with boredom and (b) if I don't understand what I'm memorizing, I might apply it incorrectly without it "looking wrong". Calc II was a class where it just wasn't possible because there was too much to derive on any given exam. It took me 1/2 way through the course to course-correct and make flashcards and such nonsense. Unfortunately that was the last (non-discrete) math class I took, so I never discovered what happens next.
