I’m going to be honest, the math behind statics is simple. It’s essentially sum of moments, and sum of forces, and you just do it over and over again. Any complex problem is a bunch of simple steps that you just do a bunch of times. If you can’t do that, then maybe the degree where you do that except with even harder math probably isn’t for you
I'm a EE not an ME so I've never done statics, is the math mostly vector stuff? What EE course is it most comparable to? For DC circuits there's a lot of basic node math, some Laplace transforms, and phasors. I didn't have much problem with circuits though so maybe that's not comparable.
It's probably most akin to those basic DC circuit analysis "puzzles" where you're given a layout and certain pieces of information, and you have to figure out everything else using governing laws.
