The math brain works in a different language, the fuel spent in thought is  numerical energy, a power in transformation.  Proof and correction, the option of checking yourself, rechecking and knowing, from the values, that you are on the right track, getting closer and closer to an answer with help from your experience: the problems you've resolved thus far... Everything you learn how to calculate now you will need in the future, nothing is arbitrary save from the constants, which were actually predetermined by a greater force of truth, like family. The formulas are the same for everyone, but the methods of application will differ.  Do not get caught up in the immediate problem because you will not be able to recognize the larger mistakes you are making.  These errors will accumulate and affect your every move from the time at which you make them. Stop every once in a while and ask yourself, "does this make sense?" and if it does not, work backwards to find the source of error. Do not be discouraged. Calculation errors can, and will, happen to everyone, just be sure to show your work so the rest of the world can try their best to understand your process.  Remember, there are many different ways to arrive at the answer, no one is correct, but one is correct for one, all or none, it's just a matter of probability, really.
