I love math but I suck at it

Hello Mathematicians .

I am a first year PhD student in Mechanical engineering.

Since I was in high school I always loved maths and used to watch all sort of documentaries . That made me want to do research . However in engineering school I have had an overwhelming number of classes and subjects at once that I couldn't keep up ( obviously I did good enough to graduate) but I have never felt that I fully grasp the mathematical foundation and formal proofs .

So recently I started to circle back to my undergrad lectures in my free time and I want to re-inforce my understanding of fundamental mathematics because I want to study some advanced branches ( most notably deferential geometry and functional analysis ) .

Do you have any recommendations ? Ressources ? Or advices ?

Thank you for Reading . Have a great day !
