I just don’t get it. Are they like discovering the ideas and formulas or what?

Math is a language that describes quantities, and their relationships to each other.
Math aptitude depends on a student’s interest in quantities and their implications. Desire to know about quantities drives students’ efforts to learn about and practice mathematic concepts and notational conventions devised to reason with quantities.
Calculus is a subset of math that deals with the rate at which which quantities change, and the aggregate results of these changes.
Students who try to learn mathematic concepts like calculus, but who have no interest in the quantities these represent, usually struggle to understand them.
People will often say a person is gifted at math, or has a talent for it. As Bob Ross said: “That’s baloney. Talent is a pursued interest. In other words, anything that you’re willing to practice, you can do.”
