Nothing to be embarrassed about. I graduated and I'm still working on my Maths and Physics daily. I have a folder in my computer named "Core Knowledge" because I noticed that whenever I struggled with a topic, it wasn't really the topic I was struggling with, it was my core knowledge that was weak. I'm strengthening the core so that I'll only have to deal with the topics.

The best and worst thing today is that you have a huge number of resources. So much that you can either learn it all, or none. Most will go with none.

Everyone will recommend their favorite books. I'll do the same:

- Piskunov's "Differential and Integral Calculus".

- Demidovich's "Problems in Mathematical Analysis".

Piskunov for a course (concept, example. concept, example) and exercises. Demidovich for a quick review and about 3000 exercises.

I personally prefer the Soviet style for Maths and Physics. They're sharp, read your mind, and are ADHD free.
