I lost interest in school around the 10th or 11th grade. I never took any math classes beyond what was required to graduate way back in '96 in Florida. I also didn't go to college.

I've been a professional web developer since 2005 and a development manager (who still codes) since 2017. I don't understand the first thing about Calculus or even logarithms. I'm sure if I did, I'd probably be a better developer. I've had employees try to explain to me fairly basic log notation and my eyes just glaze over. It's never impacted my abilities, nor the respect and admiration I get from them as a well-experienced and knowledgable developer, but I can't help but feel ignorant.

I need to go back to the basics and work my way up; I've lost a lot of it. Where do I start? Kahn Academy?
