MIT OpenCourseWare's single-variable calculus course, covering derivatives, integrals, and their applications, released as free lecture materials for self-study.

Commenters use it to refresh college-level math; one describes relearning derivatives and matrix basics by working through it before taking machine learning courses.

    Machine Learning.

    In 2018 I went from "zero to sixty", so to speak. At the beginning of the year I knew nothing about ML, and my math skills had gotten so rusty I couldn't even remember how to do simple derivatives or multiply two matrices.

    In the first half of 2018 I relearned the college math that I had forgotten by working through MIT OCW's Linear Algebra, Calculus, and Probability courses.

    In the Fall, I enrolled in Carnegie Mellon's 10-601 course, graduate "Introduction to Machine Learning". It was hard, it was a ton of work, but I did well and it was completely worth it as I now have a solid understanding of the basics of the field and can continue studying this upcoming year and into the future.
