Has anyone here self-taught themselves math in later life?

I studied up to A level (aged 19) but honestly started hating math aged 16 after previously loving it.

It’s a big regret of mine that I fell out of love with it.

I self taught myself coding and Spanish and much enjoy self study if I can find the right material.

Any suggestions?

I was the same In high school.

2 weeks ago I hired a professor to help me learn math again so I can attend University computer science.

I can tell you, you can and should.

I'm totally addicted to math, I work as a programmer once I finish my work for the day I spend all my free time learning math again.

I'm still going over the very basics like 9 th grade stuff but I can see already it's going to go fine! I'm enjoying it so much!

Everyone is capable of, and can benefit from, mathematical thinking
