I can relate. I'm 47 and also working on learning/re-learning previous maths, and extending my knowledge as well.
One of my favorite resources: Professor Leonard. He has videos of him teaching everything from pre-algebra through calc III, statistics, and differential equations. He's planning a linear algebra sequence soon'ish as well.

Then there is Gilbert Strang:

(could also be useful if you actually did mean "meths" and not "maths")
And, of course, there is always Khan Academy.
- nabla9 6y agoYou also need to do exercises. Schaum's Outline Series is good for that.
- mindcrime 6y agoAgreed. There are also several series of "problem books" out there, that are nothing but hundreds and hundreds of problems (and solutions) for a given subject. They tend to have titles like "The Humongous Book of Calculus Problems" or "The Humongous Book of Algebra Problems", or "1001 Solved Problems in Linear Algebra", etc. I also buy cheap used copies of older editions of various text-books to supplement the video stuff. When you don't have to worry about using the latest version because it's required for a class, you can find some really cheap deals.
- noneeeed 6y agoThat looks great, thanks so much for that. The professor Leonard channel looks perfect, especially as it starts at pre-algebra. I'm not sure what that covers, that was a long time ago, but it would be good to cover that again just to ease myself into it.
