I don't go to the same uni as you so the maths content might be different but it was the logs that got me. I asked someone to go over the parts I couldn't get my head around with me and after a bit of practice I was ok. After first year it's unlikely you will use anywhere near as much maths as you are using now.
Integration and differentiation baffle me and I'm good with equations.
We had to do a maths test on them so I wrote a step-by-step approach and practiced it. It helped me through the test, and didn't have to re-take.

Have you had a look around the internet for a 'dummy's guide' (no sleight intended) - very often the key to understanding it is finding and explanation that you get into the groove with.
