I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by my recent experience, having signed up for MathAcademy.com after reading about it on HN.
Now in my 50’s, I wanted to relearn high school maths from 35 years ago and I scooted through their Foundations series (now half way through Foundations 3, rapidly accruing like 9000 xp in 9 weeks, 2 hours a day). Planning in 2025 to do 1-3 university level courses with them at a slower pace.
It’s suited my way of learning as an autodidact: enjoyable; measurable; adaptable level of hardness; no hitting of a “wall” or “unmet dependencies”; thorough explanation of problems I didn’t solve.
Perhaps my biggest realisation was that one can learn without needing to document many notes to revise/memorise, because experience and spaced repetition suffices. I’m taking a Xmas hiatus which will be the real test of baked learning.
