How to improve myself?

Hi guys! I was thinking about this for a while, and would really like TL advice.

I'm in my early twenties and working. The thing is, I have always liked to follow scientific developments in various fields. Recently I have realized that I should really get a firmer ground in science and math for intellectual purposes.

Prior to this, I was never great in either. I was decent up to the third year of my high school, then the time came to choose a "stream" of study, so I chose arts over science because I was lazy at the time, preferring to play basketball and videogames all day. During math class I would often draw pictures all over my textbook. Up to now, my highest achievement in math has been passing a calculus course in college, motivated by the fact that I had to pass it or else.

Now, I realize I am never going to be a scientist or engineer, as it would take a long time and I already have a decent job. However I would still like a better grounding in science and math. I can't take a master's degree in it because my first degree was a business degree. Any suggestions on how I should improve myself? Currently I'm reading up a calculus book on my own and doing practice exercises.

Constantly use everything you learn to create breakdowns of units and post them in the SC2 General section of TL. Seems to work for most people and will help you rapidly improve at both math and SC2.

You can go check this site also. http://academicearth.org/ there is a lot of free university lectures about math and physics.
