There's no such thing as "too retarded to learn math." You may not have the bandwidth to do the cutting edge in any particular field at a PhD level, but there's plenty of math within your grasp. You won't know your limits with that kind of thing until you've put in a genuine effort.

i suggest you do an online math university degree (be it 2 year, 3 or 4) specifically applied math and then you'll have the incentive of maybe making money from it. at least from experience my willpower is too weak to learn just for the sake of learning.

Here's a good problem to starts with:
Suppose I take any number, if it's odd I multiply it by 3 and add 1. If it's even I divide it by 2. It should be east to show that every positive number will go to 1 eventually if I repeat this process enough times. From there you can move on to real mathematics.

This man be shit-posting with the collatz conjecture.

What level of math did you get to in school? Do you think you could pick up a pre-calc book and have a clue what's going on or do you need something simpler as a starting point?

I'm about to finish my PhD in EE (with a focus on measure theoretic information theory) and when I went back to college after a few years of trade work I had to start off with like high school level algebra. There's no shame in starting at the basics.

Probably not pre-calc I think a simpler starting point would be best for me

Your regions high school curriculum should be available for free. Find out what you need to learn for a certain level and start studying the things in that curriculum. There are tons of free resources online.

Well, if you have the ability to do a state/community college for cheap/free that's always a good way to start.

Otherwise, Khan academy can be a great resource for starting out. The interactive exercises there are pretty good for the starting material. Sheldon Axler's College Algebra textbook is one that I saw a lot of starting students have good luck with.

The main thing is just getting the hang of starting problem solving and keeping a regular habit of using that part of your brain.
