I'm in a similar situation but a decade older. My "aha" moment came with Ivan Savov's "No Bullshit Guide to Math & Physics". For some reason working through this book "sticks" in a way that Khan Academy and similar online tools haven't. That, combined with randomly reading entries in "Mathematics 1001" have gotten me to where I can read through audio acoustics/DSP and information theory papers (my main area of interest) and understand what's going on.

- ivansavz 2y agoThanks for the plug! If anyone is interested in the "No Bullshit Guide to Math & Physics," you can check out the extended PDF preview, which includes a free chapter: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_preview.pdf https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_pr... The concept map from the book might also be of interest independently of the book, since it shows the connections between high school math topics, physics 101 (mechanics), and calculus: https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/math_and_physics_concepts.pdf https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/math_and_physic...
