First post here, huzzah.
Anyway, I'm kinda new to the whole "enjoying physics" thing. In fact, I'm not all that wonderful at math; but I'd really love to give it a shot at learning physics, especially quantum physics. I've glanced through a few books on both, and I got to say, it's a little intimidating. I'm about to enroll into a Conceptual Physics course to get some kind of a foothold. It doesn't seem to require a whole slew of math, just a basic understanding of algebra. What kinda of math would I need to study to build up to the quantum stuff? And if it's possible, I'd like to self teach. Maybe save a chunk of cash without having to pay for classes at colleges.
Could anyone recommend some starting material and math subjects to get me started?
PS: I apologize if this is in the wrong area. Wasn't exactly sure where to post it
