I've read the sticky, and it doesn't seem like this is out of place, since I don't want career advice or help with problems, but I would like to know where I can study things like geometry, calculus, and algebra. It's been 4 years since I was in highschool, and I've forgotten most of it, and I want to improve myself.
Any books, website, or even youtubes you would advise?

It would take autism at levels we have yet to see in order to create that curriculum

If I'm not stepping out of bounds, where should I begin/what should I study if I want to be able to do these sorts of problems? I'm not entirely sure where to start or what to look up
>>10616644
that's a massive list, that should realistically cover everything

Just follow some introductory chart in the wiki, and make sure you learn everything in the japanese high school curriculum

What level are you trying to get to in math? Where are you looking to go studying this stuff? I can give you some recs once I know this.

I'm not really looking to go into anywhere, right now, but eventually I will re-enroll into college, but my mathematics are just so abysmal now that I don't think I'd be able to enter any.
I would like to at least be able to answer questions like >>10616673 these, which I assume are year 1 university questions. I've been told about Khan Academy, but I'm unsure what I should list my learning as in maths, since there's so many different branches, like geometry, algebra, calc, precalc, and even trig. I'm entirely clueless basically. Starting from a low point, I'd say.

Huh, interesting, I saw it posted somewhere, and since then have been trying to figure out how to do those sort of problems. I had no idea it was for a scholarship program. Why would it be in English? I don't really care I suppose, what the questions are for, but I am aggravated I can't do them
