I am a current high school student and I am very interested in physics, especially particle physics (that stuff is super cool!). Unfortunately, my school only teaches classical physics, so I have to continue my study at home. I've read several books and watched videos and online lectures on quantum mechanics and have gotten a basic overview of the big ideas, but when I try to dig even just a little bit deeper the math immediately gets too confusing to handle. Beyond basic summaries and oversimplifications, what other resources can I use to continue studying physics but avoid getting frustrated by math that I don't understand? Thank you in advance for your answers!


EDIT

Based on feedback so far, I think the question I should really be asking is "What are some resources that can help teach me the prerequisite math I need to know for quantum mechanics?"
