not everyone has to be good at it, but it’s often about just following instructions, or maybe you didn’t have good teachers, if you’d still like to improve with it

http://www.khanacademy.org/ is one resource for learning up to high school math I think

the “higher” math seems more conceptual than it is focused on calculations

I mean in school they often had us calculate a lot of things by hand, but we have access to computer calculators and computer programs which can do the calculating for us. So idk there can be a different approach to “doing math” when you aren’t expected to calculate by hand but just to plug in the right numbers for a calculator or computer program to calculate for you

It can be like following the step-by-step recipes for baking, doing some math
