You simply lack the [math]phenotype[/math], pal. Leave math to us with decent IQs and start a career as burger flipper at McDonald's.

What sort of math are you learning?

Calculus I & II. While I understand some parts of it I can't grasp everything especially if I need knowledge in geometry. Though my skills are enough for passing exams I'd like to get better. I feel math will be very important in my career.

Don't worry, however much you may suck at math, /mg/ is filled with even dumber people. Take solace in that fact.

Consider taking a course on discrete math. Studying that topic is what taught me to understand math.

Focus on the understanding and the scores will follow. I try to find online resources that explain the mechanisms behind equations, 'why' math works. If part of that explanation references other math I don't know, I repeat the process for that bit of math.
I imagine this would help with the geometry stuff

Also this website very helpful with calculus shit

That's all.
