To those saying GA Tech is hard, I understand that it will be challenging. However, there must be a way to tackle the challenges, and finding out my tempo for this class is taking more time than usual. I don't really know how to make the most out of this course, and the professor is not all that helpful either. There is also no TA, and many other kids complain about his teaching method being vague.
But in the end, I want to learn the concepts from this class such that it sinks in and I'll remember them moving forward. My other classes are challenging, but with effort I've been able to grasp the material.
I think grad school is intended to make you feel stupid.

There's no shortcut. You just have to read and practice a lot until it sinks in.

Indeed.
Doesn't really cut it in grad school either. You need the logical approach and the correct answer.

Of course, and I never said otherwise. I was speaking of a graduate level math course. The point of graduate school, and largely even with Master's programs considering that MA/MS/Ph.D. students take the same courses, is to learn how to create new knowledge; not to regurgitate known facts like many (most) do in undergrad.
Undergraduate math courses, until real analyses, teach you how to do math. Graduate level math courses teach you how to learn math. Huge difference.
I looked thru this, certainly not going to spend time reviewing it in detail. I did look at a couple of other links on the same topic.
It seems (to me anyway) these are all works in progress without any definitive method (or methods) of general solutions that you seem to be looking for.
