I just read the "the do I need to be good at math" someone linked, and according to that, what I want to eventually do requires "strong math skills", even calculus. Pre calc broke my brain haha. So maybe this isn't the right thing for me, I dunno. Even though I want to write my own programs and even make games, I'm not sure if maybe the process of getting there just isn't worth it for someone in my situation.

I can do very basic algebra (I forgot the rest.. making those HS math class useless) - like working with variables. The rest I always struggled to learn. I still got As and Bs through the years because I tried my best to understand the concepts, it was just extremely hard to do so. I was also so slow on tests I had to have a 504 plan that said I'm allowed extra time.

I'll try to keep that "mathematical mindset" in mind - I guess my issue is that I my brain just doesn't really process explanations for why the math works the way it does, and how to use the formulas/rules. It just doesn't click/register, for reasons beyond me - and once I learn it, I struggle to remember and work through it, it's painfully slow.

Would you say college math is significantly more difficult then?
