I don't know enough to know why I should be interested.

That sounds like a much better way to start than by going back to calculating polynomial equations. How do I find materials geared for self consumption at a beginner level that teach concept and application first?
- abecedarius 5y agoMaybe try some of the more introductory 3blue1brown videos.

Are you interested in finding out more, or not? :-) > How do I find materials geared for self consumption at a beginner level that teach concept and application first? I have no specific sources to recommend, but I would think that "academic" courses are not where you should be looking for something like this. You should be looking at books for the general reader by people who enjoyed trying to explain math to the general reader. Someone like Raymond Smullyan or Martin Gardner or John Allen Paulos.
