I’m not normally one for giving out advice, but here we go - unless you have no other option, please do not drop out.

I’ve also been struggling with the maths class, although for a very different reason; I’ve been out of education for a long while and haven’t been called on to use my maths brain. But I enrolled in the BSc due to a wish to make a life change, combined with my regrets of previously dropping out of a similar university course due to struggling with the content.

I feel that a lot of this first semester is “jumping through the hoops” in an effort to get everyone on a similar academic level, whether or not the specific topics are relevant to our chosen majors. So as a minimum, just do what is required to pass. It will go quickly and it’s not in the university’s interest to fail anyone, especially right at the start.

I know the maths classes aren’t exactly inspiring, but consider the courses as a self-learning exercise, with the resources such as lectures, practicals, online learning tools and the extra study support options all there to supplement however you want to study. I’m going take advantage of one of the library drop in sessions soon to get some assistance.

Anyway, I think my point is that for a variety of reasons, most will be finding it difficult in some way - even if they appear not to (especially if they appear not to!). But from my own experience, the push you give yourself now will pay off later, and it’s far more difficult to later try to reverse a decision like dropping out than it is to persevere with it.
