Thanks for the welcome ganesh! Good to hear how leaning has worked out for you. smile

The problem I find with self-study is motivation and knowing where to start first. I need to draw out a plan of action. I'm thinking of doing a basic course with the OU just to see if I can stick it out, then take it from there.

Thank you both for your replies! smile

I'm pretty much at GCSE standard, I can't remember everything from it, but I'd understand it again just by looking at it. I've not heard of the Saxon series, I'll look it up. I've also thought about doing a course with the Open University, I'm not particularly interested in a degree, but to have a more directed learning and to share with others really appeals to me. I did do a course with the OU a couple years back, needless to say it didn't go very well, but circumstances are a bit different now, so I'm thinking of giving it another shot.

Hi!

I hope everyone is well and I look forward to discussing with you all.

I'm something of an aspiring autodidact, which is something I've been working towards for quite some time, although I often lack motivation and focus.

I'm 23 and Maths was always my favourite subject at school, yet that didn't stop me messing around. I'd like to learn more about Maths just out of self-interest. I have some old materials here which I can work through to introduce myself back to the basics. I've also found some good looking websites, like this one, to help learn Mathematics too.

Does anyone have any advice for Maths self-study? It would be nice to hear from others that are doing this also.

All the best! smile
