Math is never too hard, it might seem like that in the beginning, but if you practice, you will be good at it. I mean, I too once sucked at math, now at some schools I can even teach it :S.
Its all practice.

Hehe well good luck, my bf does civil, and the maths is killing him lol. Its ok, if you ever need help with maths I’m sure that there are people on this site who can help you with it. But apparently engineering is fun for him, despite how hard it is. I’m sure you’ll do great and love it too

Don’t worry about math. Math just takes practice. You could have study groups so that you and your classmates can help one another. In our school, higher-year students give free tutorial lesson if they want to. Maybe your school does that too.

The fact that you love to be an engineer is already a promising start. Loving the course is the most important thing you’ll need to survive it.

Try to love math and solve everyday. You’ll see the difference. You’ll improve and math would then be easy for you.

You’ll do great.
