Hello /g/. I'm in my first year of an Electronics graduation and always sucked at math. I somehow managed to go really well in Circuits, Calculus I and Digital Systems and my teacher invited me into a Power Electronics research group.
It's been a week and I can't even grasp the basic concepts, like Laplace, Fourier, low-pass filters and all that crap. I'm afraid my math weaknesses are gonna start to show and I won't be able to keep up. Anyone ever been through a similar situation?

just convert the components to complex impedance (requires laplace/fourier) and look at the voltage, see how it varies as you increase/decrease frequency. I doubt they make you do the integrals for fourier/laplace x-form, it is more likely that you're just using tables.

I majored in applied math while working through my EE degree, so I do not know this feel; my math skills are amazing.

You really don't need to be strong in math to understand Laplace/Fourier/Z-transforms unless you're trying to do them entirely by hand which is pointless.
They're pretty foreign concepts if you've never worked with general transforms before, but you really will get better if you just keep at it.

Thanks. I won't give up then.

Isn't Laplace, Fourier, and low-pass filters covered in circuits?

Not in the first semester.

That's mostly Circuits II stuff
