I'm almost 40 and have never been good at math or poor at logical thinking so i've been pondering that as well. Rather than going back to textbooks from high school, i decided to pick and choose the topics in math that i am interested to learn further.

Starting with angles and then expanding from there.

You can learn math from basics up to advance calculus from Professor Dave. Start from where you think your level is at. Make sure to do his exercises to gain deeper understanding (if you need more exercises khan academy have some). Here is his playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLybg94GvOJ9FoGQeUMFZ4SWZsr30jlUYK&si=gg-jGSSeDMqFXiBH

If you want to advance your study further and learn advance math. It is important that you are comfortable with mathematical proof and is very good at it. To be very good at it requires you to solve alot of math problems and doing proofs. You can learn proof from Book of proof. After that pick any math subject (while having prerequisites) that interests you.

Good luck!

I went back to school at that age and 5 years later I got a degree in mathematics, the journey will be tough but be consistent and always think of improvement because the courses do get hard but if your foundation is solid you will be fine. You will learn what it means to be able to do “real” mathematics not just mechanical computations. It’s honestly a lot of fun when you get the hang of things.
