Answer
Wow!  Anyway, I suggest that you want to:

1. Complete Calculus -- partial derivatives, vectors, multiple integrals, differential equations.

2. Study analysis -- limits, continuity.(This time, you really mean it.)

3. Real variables and measure theory.

4. Complex variables

5. Probability.

6. Abstract algebra.

7. Number theory.

That should keep you busy for a few years.  Come back then and ask again.

Expertise

I can answer questions in basic to advanced algebra (theory of equations, complex numbers), precalculus (functions, graphs, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions and identities), basic probability, and finite mathematics, including mathematical induction. I can also try (but not guarantee) to answer questions on Abstract Algebra -- groups, rings, etc. and Analysis -- sequences, limits, continuity. I won't understand specialized engineering or business jargon.

Experience

I taught at a two-year college for 25 years, including all subjects from algebra to third-semester calculus.
