I definitely had similar issues with learning math when I was in school. You mention that you sat down last year and started from the beginning... would you mind sharing a little more about where you started, that is what your beginning was, and what sorts of resources you used? I'm thinking of doing something similar and am looking for avenues to take.

Well funnily enough I started back at what a matrix really is. What does it mean to multiply them, add them, invert them and so on. The first good resource I used was Better Explained! I also took out some Linear Algebra text books from the library. First was Linear Algebra for Dummies (don't knock it!) and then an undergraduate text book. I've still a ways to go but it was a good start.
