For years I was the "maths guy" at a small software house. And yet I often struggled through the terse mathematical notation that I frequently encountered while researching a given problem. On numerous occasions I had to ask for help on sites such as MathOverflow, and for a long time that really did bother me. All of my coworkers seemed to think of me as some kind of "real" mathematician, and yet there I was, posting questions on a forum like a complete noob. Eventually, I came to the realization that I truly was doing the best I could. Try to learn new things every day and give it everything you've got. That's all you can do!
