How did you learn Calculus 2? I swear my textbook was written by a bunch of jerkoffs with a thesaurus. I've always been able to keep up but now I have a professor I cant understand. I'm not trying to bash the guy just cause he's foreign he's probably very smart its just I cant understand what he's saying or writing.
The book does fuck all but complicate things more in an attempt to show off the writers' "elevated vocabulary".

I didn't. I looked at that shit for like a second and decided to learn stats instead. Depending on what you're trying to do, this may not be an option for you.

Use as many resources as you can. Khan academy, YouTube videos, reread your textbook multiple times, review your calc one and precalc notes.
You need to be studying full time to make it if you're struggling. It'll be worth it.

Some math textbooks are incomprehensible, online videos are often a good remedy I find.
I did an 100 exercise list provided by my teacher. But he also provided a list with the premade formulas for most common situations and I only passed on my second try
Youtube professor leonard...he is great, pause the video and work through the problems as he goes.

This.
Also keep practicing, practice all the time. Find some worksheets or textbooks and solve them.

I'm a math major so maybe I can help you out. Well, maybe not since I'm specialising in abstract algebra.
Anyways, check Paul's online math notes first.

See if you like the stuff there. Whenever one of my Tutorial students has problems and I don't want to solve it, I send them to that site. It gives you a comprehensive summary in everything from Gr. 12 math to 3rd year applied mathematics.

A whole lot of this to learn some common patterns and steps for integrals.

I was a math major and always got straight As. Failed calc 2 twice and decided to switch to IT. I know that shit's written like "the missile knows where it is..."
