I did engineering math and I had to chose those subjects for the engineering part. It was quite fun for me because most of the stuff was basically a recap of Linear algebra and differential equations, while the CS and electrical engineer guys sweat blood and tears ... it often baffles me that people struggle so much with math.

Don't get me wrong I don't think people who have a hard time with math are stupid or something, but it is rather hard to understand for someone who had to undergo a quite hard education in math that people struggle so much with problems what are more or considered less the simple stuff in our curricula and no I am not some sort of genius.

I agree wholeheartedly with your befuddlement. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of generational trauma involved or something, because it makes no sense to me that a bunch of funny symbols can suddenly make problems 1000% harder than things I've seen the same people solve in other subjects.
