Hello everyone,

I am a 37 year old guy who is currently self teaching in precalculus. I plan to enroll in school to get a degree but am no hurry as I am learning as much as I can on my own.

The books I use are "for dummies" written by yang kuang and elleyne kase. I also spend plenty of time going on youtube to watch tutorials like Ed Burger, Tarrou, Khan Academy, to name a few.

I will likely be reading most of the time and maybe contribute if I am competent enough.

See you at the board!
