I dropped out of college to be a full time software engineer and I decided to go back to community college to learn more fundamental math. I'm starting a calculus class next week

What were you originally going to college for? Why the interest in math in particular?

CS. I want to use math in my job and work on some of the more interesting problems instead of just making CRUD webapps forever. I also liked the math classes I took in my CS degree

Very good; keep at it. Mathematics is the language of Science/Nature and hence studying and applying it (at whatever level) is enlightening. There have been lots of threads on HN on good Mathematics books and how to study which you may find useful.
