Hey! I’ve had some experience with numerical analysis working with some of my physicist friends and my dad who does this stuff pretty often, a lot of times numerical methods are quite literally just traditional methods ( say FDM/FEM/FVM ) but numeric

#

Honestly, if you’re at the point of exhaustion, I would either take a break from the subject for some time, or try to just experiment using the methods, go look up the Wikipedia page for the method and try to write it down in words, code, or whatever helps you

#

I hope you know you certainly don’t have to derive everything, just try to understand the tools you have and how they work, no need to stress yourself out.

#

If you just want somewhere to start, try implementing your classic newtons method, Riemann sums, etc. You might think it's not a very flashy start, and it isn't, but it's important to be able to go from concept to code. If you need to, I would also try to specifically learn matlab, there are ton of great resources on it.

As a textbook I’d recommend “Numerical Analysis” — Richard L. Burden & J. Douglas Faires, it’s a pretty well rounded foundational textbook
