Hi guys,
Did a google search and this forum came up, so I thought I'd ask this question here.
I'm in my late 20s and looking to change careers. Though I was never a math whiz I always enjoyed math and since job prospects look better in quantitative fields, I wanted to get a Masters in Statistics.
I did some research, and most programs want at least a full college calculus series - up to multivariable calculus and linear algebra.
I did take college calculus (but not multivariable calc). Good news is the program I am looking at has told me I can take these math classes at a community college.
So basically I'd only need to take 2 classes- Multivariable calculus and linear algebra.
So now here's my problem: It's been TEN years since I looked at a math problem. I recently picked up a HS Algebra text and realized I forgot a ton of that.
I don't want to pay money to retake classes I've already taken, especially HS level classes.
I'm hoping to basically self-study and recall everything from HS Algebra I to College Calculus. Geometry and Trigonometry as well. Is this feasible to do on a self-study basis, and what would be the best way to do it? I'm hoping it's like riding a bike and will come back to me as I start solving some problems...
