I'm 23, studied philosophy in college but a programmer by trade. But only after college did I realize how important a formal mathematics education is. I will always hit a ceiling until I advance my math background but I do not want to go back to school (lol). In recs? Where do I start, should I just look at MIT math courses?
I'm 32, didn't go to college, and have been a programmer since I was 17. I suck at math.
https://teachyourselfcs.com/ is a good resource, and they recommend (and have a link to the pdf for) Mathematics for Computer Science.
I plan on getting through that at some point, but I've also had decent luck with https://betterexplained.com/ - they do a pretty good job of explaining calculus.
math is just a tool, makes no sense to "study math"( unless u r referring to 'pure math'). Pick something practical and see math can help you think about it.

Do you have an example for this in your experience?
