Long story short; I failed math since the 9th grade of high school because I didn't care. And my brain got even lazier since. But today I read something about algorithms and looked them up on wikipedia and somehow I got really REALLY interested.
So it's time for me to start over with math. Where do I go online? and what do I start with? I'm looking for sites, tutorials, anything really.
Where would YOU got to on the internet if you woke up with only your multiplication tables and a suddenly obsessive and unexplained desire to crush numbers?

it doesnt have to be like this. you CAN live a happy life without math if youd just give it a chance
I can't stress enough that I'm not trolling. It's 8:30 am here and I woke up with nothing else going on and bizarrely motivated. I'm just looking to learn.
I understand nothing about math and I do algorithm research for a living. You're gonna be alright.

is that the beer they drink in straya

VB? some do, mostly in Melbourne. I quit drinking a couple weeks ago. maybe that's got something to do with all this.
If you want to learn maths from the ground up, a good place to start would be Khan Academy. Paul's Online notes are also worth checking out.
Good luck anon, keep up the enthusiasm.

wait a week and see if you still feel like it.
obsession will fade quickly, dont waste your time on a whim.

ADHD? It's the latest fad, just everyone has to have it; to be cool.

Came to this board for the first time in recent history and saw this thread and I also got motivated to learn maths (Though I have been for a while but didn't have the time to pursue it).
I was so intensely disappointed to discover this board is as full of pretentious scumbags like most other boards. Particularly the replies here reminded me of /pol/
Good luck with your search and someone please tag my post also if you have useful links

Should be ashamed of themselves.

Not productive because he doesn't do what you do for a living.
My story is that I went to a working class secondary school and my maths teacher was a 7 foot tall rugby playing bully who preferred to berate people rather than teach and another teacher I had read magazines instead of teaching.

If you insist

Because if you actually have the motivation to learn that shit you wouldnt be asking to be spoon fed on a math discussion board. You literally want someone to hold your hand and tell you it;'s going to be alright but it's really UP TO YOU to grab life by the horns and do what you want despite the little road bumps along the way.
There's your useful information.

You aren't employed on this board you don't have to reply.
>>8706064
Yeah I'm actually successful in life I just wanted some links that other people found useful when in the same shoes. We are trying to learn the optimal or most popular online grassroots maths courses, for example >>8705981
Paul's online notes is a very useful resource people possibly wouldn't be able to find.

Okay, go for it anon, I'm sure this will lead to all your problems magically disappearing. You will surely use your newfound love for mathematics to change everything, but be quick, you have to do it right now, you really don't have time to make sure it's genuine or something that will wear off.
Is that what you want? Insincere enthusiasm?
