    Math Education Resources

    Much to my surprise, I have found that I really enjoy Mathmatics and need to improve my skills professionally. I'm particularly interested in calculus. The highest formal Mathmatics training I've completed was Pre-calc in college. Going back to school is not an option for me at this point.

    I thought I would ask the forum for members' reccomendations of online Mathmatics courses. I looked into Great Cources briefly but was a little suspicious.

    Looking forward to the suggestions.

    Not calculus, however this online course from Stanford was enjoyable when I took it some years back and Keith Devlin is a good teacher.
    Consider taking the time to add to the reputation of everybody that has taken the time to respond to your query.

    When I wanted to improve my statistics, I went to the local used book stores, thrift stores, etc. and picked up an intro to statistics textbook for cheap (perhaps an advantage to living in a college town). You could try a place like that for calculus textbooks that you could work through on your own.

    I did a quick catalog search of the public library for your profile location, and they claim to have several calculus titles that could be useful.

    I put "intro to calculus" into my favorite internet search engine, and found several interesting resources, such as:
    A maths is fun site: https://www.mathsisfun.com/calculus/index.html
    this open text book from MIT: https://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-18...2005/textbook/
    There were many others.

    I might start with any of that and see what you can work out.
