Are math skills natural, or rather acquired?

The majority of math classes until you get into upper level college courses(Dynamics, numerical analysis, etc) are a joke. The problem is that you have to learn to think math not just do it. The problem is that most students don’t know how to learn math. You don’t just do problems in the book. You apply it. Apply it to everything. There is also a distinct difference between competition math(AMC, AIME, USAMO, IMO) and just taking advanced math(linear algebra, differential equations, etc).
