(Not answering the question you asked, but hopefully a useful answer nonetheless)<p>My son discovered he&#x27;d been faking math and not retaining and understanding it. He had excellent success using <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;brilliant.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;brilliant.org&#x2F;</a> to restart at early high school math and work forward, learning it properly. Just got an A for his second year university maths class on the strength of it.

“Fundamental Mathematics” fourth edition by Wade and Taylor is the best book I am aware of for learning mathematics from scratch.
