>I quickly found out that college was not the right setting for me and within 6 months, I was so burnt out on this thing that had only begun as a hobby and had now turned into a seemingly endless constant requirement.
I feel your pain. Don't feel like you failed in any way though. College is a pretty broken concept actually (especially in this day and age, and in the context of fast-changing technology).
>Now, I want to get back into it, but I'm worried that my lacking skills in math would be a concern.
Before I address this, let me give you some advice/perspective. If you write a paper for an english teacher, she can give you a C on it, while another professor would give you an A. They can take points off for handwriting, or just because they are biased in the subject you decided to write the paper on. But with math, you can't apply the subjectivity. 2 + 2 is 4. Period. And it will never change. So once you know it, you'll know it for life. Don't get discouraged, it just take practice.
Alright as for math advice.
Taking a course in discrete mathematics. It's not as hard as it sounds. You'll need this type of math for any kind of programming.
Aside from that, most of main stream development has very little mathematical requirements. A good understand of 9th grade Algebra 2 curriculum is all you need really. I'd recommend just going online to Kahn Academy and brushing up on related courses.
If you want to get into game development, you'll need a solid understand of algebra, trigenometry, and linear algebra.
The math you were dealing with in college is for really really advanced "programming stuff". Only a small number of people in the entire world do this kind of work (specifically compiler engineering, operating systems). It takes years of committed study after college to get to the point where you can get a job doing this kind of work.
TL;DR: Learn discrete math, and algebra 2. It's all you really need for 99% of jobs out there.
>Another issue is that the only thing I have available to work with is my cellphone.
This is a tough one, you need to have at minimum a non-mobile web browser to run code. You don't need a bad ass computer at all:
So for ~$100, you have a computer.
>What would you suggest for someone in my position who wants to return to learning.
Good luck!
