    I recorded a video course to let anyone learn Math bottom-up▲20

    This course was intended for ages 7 and up, including adults.

If you do watch it, let me know if it is helpful in getting a solid foundation! My background: Before I got full-time into software development, I was doing a Ph. D in math at NYU.
