It is possible to restart math and take it to the limit, so to speak. Find an algebra book with lots of problems and answers, and work every problem in the book.

My wife, who didn't go past college algebra, recently bought a 1,200 page calculus textbook so she can work through it in her spare time, just for the sake of learning.

I love that woman!

LOL! Well, she went a heckuva a lot further than I did. Good on her for tackling the calculus. I'm quite a ways removed from attempting THAT! :)

If the textbook has margins, you are expected to make notes and diagrams right in there. It isn't a schoolbook but your property, and it will be referred to over and over in the future.
