@DanielR.Collins, yes it is mathematics.

I did consider that possibility, but no my work wasn't sloppy before. Careless mistakes used to be pretty rare for me. I think either i've hit a point where the classes are finally challenging me or i'm just too stressed

My classmates are also pretty clueless. Though I do think asking someone else for help like i helped others is a good idea. know any good resources for that? I'd use my tutoring center, but the tutors are overworked and aren't able to help as often as they'd like

@JW I do, but I'm not sure they'll help much given my past discussions with them. I did recently try picking a different professor that everyone says is wonderful, but it's too late in the semester for me to do that. So I'm stuck with a professor that will mark an a correct answer wrong because of formatting issues.

Yes, @JW, it's basically discrete math. My uni calls it structures for some reason, it's weird. And the main issues I'm having with calc 2 is the computations. I can prove a trig identity if I wanted but I can't remember it well enough to make use of it. I understand the concept of the integral and its applications, but I keep making computational errors. The course covers volume of solids, work, area between curves, sequence and series (div. and convergence, taylor series, etc), and polar coordinates

Symbolic logic (truth tables, nested quantifiers, etc), proof writing, and eventually we're going to deal with theory of counting, discrete probability, etc.

First year. I'm in calc 2 and structures at the moment. I think i'm doing fine with structures but i'm waiting for grades to update to be positive. Doing terrible with calc 2 though
