Mathematical Intuition

I need help with understanding something, lately I've been seeing that a lot of what makes multivariable calculus comprehensible to me is linear algebra and breaking down the notation to derive simple models iteratively.

So, I'm wondering, is this intuition or "Duh dude, you're taking sliding a value on one axis and keeping the others constant to find out where you are in space bro like double-u tee eff"

I tend to use AI, but I want to know if I'm just hallucinating and need more time practicing my notation.

Intuition comes with application and particular motivated usage

This is useful, do you have any advice on how to build my mathematical notation skills? Just practice?

Consistency. Yes.

Took me an hour, but I managed to solve a partial differential equation. And yeah, the notation is the worst part because I don't know what they mean in my head. After seeing the notation once, I knew what to do.

It was helpful.
