I just looked at the page about the maths required for string theory. I now know everything on the first page :D. The last time I saw that page, I only knew about half of it.

There are lots of lecture notes online for free. MIT offers some courses online even as streaming video lectures (linear algebra and differential equations come to mind) on the OCW page. I'd at least suggest grabbing textbooks and reading them/doing the questions! Worst case you could always take the plunge and go on for some higher education.

Go to google and look up, say, "linear algebra lecture notes" or "calculus lecture notes" or something to that extent. Personally, when I do hunts I look up things like "calculus lecture notes pdf" without the quotation marks...that'll look up calculus lecture notes and generally give out pdf files moreso than anything else. I just like pdf though. Same token, PM me if you want as I have on the order of 5000 science and math textbooks/lecture notes in pdf/ps/dvi/djvu format and I'm sure I could get you set in motion if you want me to email them to you.

I sure hope the fuzz doesn't come sue me now.

mostly from school and uni, but I learn more from reading the notes and textbooks than from lectures.

You could have gotten a scholarship, my teacher got one and he went to this college for free.

If the government owned all the colleges, then the colleges wouldn't have to pay taxes on the land, and knowledge would be free. If America wasn't in so much debt, I would support this...
