An old one

I hope it is all right to join Math Is Fun as I am very old.  75yrs old.  I want to study Maths to keep my brain ticking over.  I wasn't much good at mathematics at school.  Kind Regards.

Hi MathSagacity,

Welcome to the forum!

One can learn the basics and go on for advanced Mathematics at any age. Good Wishes!

hi MathSagacity

Welcome! Of course it's ok to join. We have no age limits!!!

Have you visited the teaching pages at https://www.mathsisfun.com/index.htm

Strongly recommended if you're trying to teach yourself.

And if you have specific questions about a topic I'll have a go at explaining.  That helps me too as it keeps my brain active as well.
