Linear Algebra is Hard

I’m a Finance and Math major and I’m thinking of dropping math.

I’m taking linear algebra right now, it’s not hard per say, but I don’t understand the conceptual side of it.

Doing my first mid term I got a 80%, 13.3% of the grade lost was because of true/false. Out of 5 of them I got 1 correct. Span, R^n, 1 - 1, onto, and other concepts are hard for me. I have tried watching YT video including 3brown1blue and I still don’t understand.

I did went to my professor office hours and I still don’t understand it fully.

I enjoyed Calc 1, but it’s the easiest one and maybe I should drop math before I dig myself too deep.

But if I drop math I’ll be only a finance major and I still don’t know if I want to do finance for the rest of my life.

Yall think I should stay for another semester before dropping math to test the water?…
