Strategies to Overcome Stuckness in Math Physics Course

[QUOTE="Mulz, post: 6064318, member: 486357"] I'm currently in my second year of physics undergrad. My problem right now is that in one course named Mathematical Physics, I keep getting stuck. When I get stuck I re-read the entire chapter several times carefully and try to solve the problems but I'm unable. I resort to looking at the examples which there are very few of. I try to solve the first few problems which arguably should be easier but they are not. There are no solutions so I can't get an idea of what to do. When I search the internet for e.g. singular fields I find no information and thus this book is all I can go on. What should I do? I try to use different strategies but unable to solve the problems. I don't even properly grasp the theory. It feels like in this particular book, there are very few examples and non explanatory examples, almost as if it was made for someone that already had done the course. The problems difficulty curve starts at the top is what it feels like. What strategies can I use? I never go on office hours because I'm not flexible. So far it's only one/two chapters I'm having issues with. I don't want is to happen to every future chapter. [/QUOTE]
