Hey guys,
I have started my masters studies in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Thermal Fluid sciences.
I have taken macroscopic thermodynamics, fundamentals of fluid mechanics, Conduction and Radiation Heat Transfer.

I have just attended the first lecture of the following subjects and found that I have forgotten how to solve differentiations, Integration.
From my school, I was not that good in Maths. But I am really intrested in the Thermal Fluid domain and would like to make a career in this field as a CFD, Thermal engineer.
It will be really helpful if you guys suggest me some youtube videos, pdf or any other material to help me atleast be able to understand this derivations.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration, I hope you guys understand and help me.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I recommend just attending class. There is no shame in asking the lecturer or professor for help. You are already paying for the instruction either directly or through indenture. Get your money's worth!

keep a copy of Advanced Engineering Mathematics from Erwin Kreyzig around. When in doubt refer it.

Thank you so much, I will get this book.
But still I am very bad with derivative and Integration, due to which I struggle understanding the derivations even though I understand the theoretical concepts I am not able to derive it.
Do you have any resources for learning the calculus required for solving this derivations.
I am so sorry for asking so many favors

Well, there are lots of platforms that you choose and utilize to improve your math skills some of which are listed below:
1. YouTube channel
2. Online courses
3. Khan academy
4. Use software tools like OpenFOAM and COMSOL.
Secondly math is all about understanding of logic and basics, means you need to keep focus on logic and basics which can help you in learning and improving skills in math.
Thanks
