What people are saying
anxiety or numeracy limitations
It takes a long time to complete the course but it is worth it if you want to grasp college-level math and beat math anxiety or numeracy limitations.
already get some topics
The course starts where you are, so you can take it from a fairly rudimentary level and build from there, or join at a later stage if you show you already get some topics.
long time to complete
quit math aged 15
I quit math aged 15, thinking I was not a 'math person'.
exercises really make
The videos are very helpful, although I would recommend using the book as well, and the exercises really make you feel your making a progress.
fairly rudimentary level
maths in high-school
I think this is a great course for those who dropped out Maths in high-school and feel in need of catching up with topics such as equations, functions, polynomials, logarithms and the like.
