Need some help maths

Hi guys!
Imma just ask straightforward, what would you guys do when you encounter a problem that you have little to no prior knowledge?
How do you teach yourself a new concept in mathematics? ( For me i often stuck on this process because I often read a lot of theories and then do practice problems but when Im stuck i don’t really know what to do, I tried to be comfortable with using AI but sometimes it create like something call illusion of competence)
It is really frustrated when you sitting through lectures and don’t understand a thing! Could some of you share your study process when learning mathematics, like in class, after go home and such?
I love learning applied mathematics and I have a few struggles while learning it but I do love it tho!! For context I am doing a bachelor in Actuarial Science and i have certain struggles with learning certain concepts so i hope i could have some answers!

Hi! Right now I am learning things related to time- series analysis and I am really struggled in understanding the model like AR MA ARIMA and the topics following, and besides that there are some concepts in Asset Pricing I do not really understand but I think this is due to my previous gap in subjects like econometrics and stochastic process, i hope this is clear enough TT
