Your best bet is to join an enthusiastic math club, and/or find a really good math tutor who can analyze your problems with math. Often it is as simple as finding how you like to solve problems, and fitting that into how you understand and use math. It is a fact that most people who have problems with math in college calculus are really having trouble with trig and algebra all over again but haven't worked out that these are basic math skills.
They can be mastered, truly, but you need overall perspective to help you do it. When I was young, I liked engineering but that made the girls think of me as a nerd ... in other words, I liked one application in life but had serious problems with life itself. My own solution was to find out what girls liked overall, and use all my spare time working on those things.
(I've been successful as an engineer ... and married forty two years).
Business studies media studies if you can't do maths you aren't going to do robotics/AI or computer science.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
