Obviously it isn't the ONLY one you don't know
My suggestion is to use your local library, where you are sure to find many books on all sorts of math.

Geometry is that one math that always screwed me over. Never have and probably never will understand it. When I had to learn it, it was just enough to slip by and pass and I still dont get it for the most part even now.
Which is funny, considering I consider myself pretty damn good in Algebra. I guess my mind doesnt work too well with shapes.

I'm guessing you're good w/ verbal reasoning but bad w/ spatial reasoning, eh?

You should look into sacred geometry. I've been studying this book called "Sacred Geometry Philosophy and Practice" by Robert Lawlor. I think you would find it more interesting than standard geometry. It really gets into philosophy, and the spiritual side of geometry. Check out these chapter titles- -Sacred Geometry: Metaphor of Universal Order -The Primal Act: The Division of Unity -Proportion and the Golden Section -Gnomonic Expansion and the Creation of Spirals -The Squaring of the Circle -Meditation: Geometry becomes Music << -The Genesis of Cosmic Volumes
This book is blowing me away!!
Of course you can google sacred geometry and get some good info as well, but if you can, grab this book!

Geometry is a huge part of my line of work. I live and breathe it. I'd say it's a relatively easy area of math because you can actually picture it. Get any high-school level math textbook and just go through the geometry chapters and do the examples. It won't take long if you honestly want to learn it.

Buy a high school geometry textbook.

It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust.

They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that you could be here today." ~Lawrence Krauss
