Thank you very much for the offer, this is something I love to do and would be ideal for me, I was a lazy teen and dropped maths after GCSE when I really shouldn't have (I droped just about everything hard, I was a very kevin and perry teen and went to a bad school). 10 years later I really regret this, I would love to understand the basics of things like analysing algorithms, encoding/encryption stuff etc. I've moved into CS relatively late and the lack of maths has caught me out when it shouldn't. I am currently finishing off a masters in Information Systems which has gone fantastically well but my maths is still lacking by miles. Networks was particularly hard when it came to understanding things like encryption.
I have watched a couple of MIT videos on introduction to Algorithms but they were a bit beyond me so I need to take a step back first. I've watched a few kahn videos but there is just so much I am not quite sure where to put my time. I have thought about taking a Maths A level course at some time when I get time but this year has been full on with other learning.
I start my first professional developers job at the end of September and being able to just do some basic big-O would be amazing. This thread is actually becoming valuable for links and recommendation to other resources I should explore.
