What are the benefits of refreshing math knowledge as an adult?

I am 30 years old and I thought to refresh my math knowledge. I am glad to be part of this forum, seems very active!

Welcome to PF!

What areas of math are you interested?

I bought the Math 1001 book by Elwes awhile back. It summarizes a lot of fields highlighting unsolved problems which is quite fascinating. It might picque your interest.

Thank you,

I 've just started studying "Michael Spivak Calculus" and I find it very difficult. So, pretty much I 'd like some further explanation - help to some of the exercises.

There's a website called Mathispower4u.yolasite.com that hosts a collection of short videos on various Calculus topics that may help.

Also there's Khans Academy too.

And again thank you for the suggestions. Both seem very interesting!
