Thanks in advance for your feedback! Also, if you have any suggestions
for how I should go about relearning math, please share them. Any
useful websites or books would also be greatly appreciated.


1) Get a book like 'Numbers and Geometry' by John Stillwell. Presupposes
only high school algebra but it is real mathematics.

2) Consider getting a CAS like Mathematica and learn how to use it so that
it can be a powerful tool in your university study. It takes some time to
learn it well so the earlier the better.

Don't worry about having fun or why other people hate mathematics. That's
their problem. There are plenty of people who appreciate and like it.
