[Serious] How should I prepare to take math classes again as a returning student?
Hey guys! Was doing great in college until 2019 when I was kicked out at 18, finally back on my feet and going to school again but was wondering how I should get ready to take math again?
Wasn’t bad at math or anything, just changing from a polysci degree to an engineering degree so it’s going to be more intensive and I’m not sure if I’m ready after a 4 year break. I have all Fall semester to prepare, going to be taking Calc I in the spring. My last math classes were Trig and Stats.
Sorry if this isn’t the type of questions this community does, didn’t know a better one.

Highly recommend Khan Academy. I used them to refresh my self for the GRE after not taking any math for the previous 6 years. It was a very well laid out progression from simple to more complex concepts. Granted this was in 2015, so their lessons may have changed over the interim, but I assume they will have only gotten better.
I recommend Khan Academy as well. My daughter got her geography degree in 2020 and is starting back this fall for civil engineering. She was worried as well after the break, especially since she didn't need a lot of math with her first degree. Khan is what gave her the confidence to go for the new degree! It's an amazing resource.
