I learn the math by programming it: a TI-84 library and going back to school
I went back to school as an adult and started teaching myself computer science through CS50x. Somewhere in the middle of College Algebra I figured out the trick that works for me: I don't really understand a thing until I've programmed it. So I built a small library of TI-84 calculator programs, and the building is what taught me the math.
