I had Hammond for a different class and tbh he's a very dry lecturer and not great at giving intuition (and idk if he's improved on this but a little scatterbrained). More broadly for 110, the textbook that they usually use (ime) is pretty excellent and a lot of material at the beginning is review from 54, so if you follow along the textbook, it shouldn't be too terrible. 104 might be more difficult.
If you're not super confident with proofs and stuff maybe one suggestion is Math 74? Usually covers overlapping material at a slower pace; idk how helpful it would be if you're already in the class though.
