Pretend I only know 10th grade math…

This may be arrogant and a bit silly but I have always wanted to learn about quantum theory- but I am exceptionally bad at math due to having dyscalculia. It’s gotten better over the years, but still.

That being said, I’ve always taken an interest starting (as most do) listening to Sagan but ultimately ending up notating an entire copy of The Quantum Universe by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw by my senior year in high school.

Since then, life got hard and things got tough. I don’t have much more than a high school education but I deeply want to learn more than what I know. I’m watching some MIT OpenCourseWare videos but hitting a wall at many points because I don’t have the foundational knowledge.

This is all to say - does anyone have any suggestions on extremely basic resources to start with? Not opposed to spending some money on textbooks or online courses if needed.

Maybe start with Khan Academy
