I sucked at math in high school but doubled down in college and aced calc 2 probably the most relevant math in engineering school aside from diff eq. Set yourself up for time to go to the tutoring lab to do your homework immediately or close to immediately after class. There wasn’t a tutoring lab for calc based physics but everyone was bombing physics so the class average got bumped up and a solid foundation in calc usually translates well to physics. If you’re at an average college this will be the case. If you end up somewhere like UofM and above this won’t be the case. If you can get a tutor in HS it will help a lot. Khan Academy was very helpful for learning math. Their YouTube videos were helpful. The key to math is practice practice practice practice.
