    …old, might be a good resource to consider. These are the titles I know are out there: - “Mathematics for the Practical Man” - “Arithmetic for the Practical Man” - “Algebra for the Practical Man” - “Geometry for the Practical Man” - “Calculus for the Practical Man” -> this last one was the one Richard Feynman used to teach himself calculus (https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.5.9099/full...) good luck!
