It sounds like you're trying to read papers that assume a certain level of mathematical sophistication without having reached that level. Typical engineering papers will assume at least what's taught in 2 years of college level mathematics, mainly calculus and linear algebra, and no they aren't going to be explaining notation used at that level.
But it isn't just about the notation. You also need to understand the concepts the notation represents, and there aren't really any shortcuts to that.
These days there are online courses (many freely available) in just about every area of mathematics from pre-high school to intro graduate level.
It's possible for a sufficiently motivated person to learn all of that mathematics on their own from online resources and books, but it isn't going to be an easy task or one that you can complete in a few weeks/months.
