Y'know, its actually pretty easy to do math if you're good at English and stuff. Having a high vocabulary means you can easily memorize stuff.
But the thing most people struggle with is that they memorize the wrong way, which is that they waste a bunch of mental energy trying to remember formulas when its significantly easier to learn and perform derivations.
And the last trick is to memorize the feel of a question type so that you can quickly pull out the correct derivation that solves the problem.
Similarly: basically every question in your physics 1 class can be solved from a starting point of k = 0.5*m*v^2, yet most classes erroneously force you to use a massive equation sheet, hence most people hate physics saying its confusing.
