Correct learning order for a senior math beginner?

How can we help?

The last math I did was 15 years ago, and my goal is to be able to read this paper and be able to understand and implement it. I am 30 right now.

I am starting with Khan Academy and have so far done all the lessons that have to do with fractions, and now I'm planning a curriculum of the following:

Pre-algebra
Algebra
Geometry
Trigonometry

After this, I want to get into calculus, but Khan has the following calculus courses, and it's my understanding that it is good to learn algebra/geometry/trigonometry before calculus:

Precalculus
Differential Calculus
Differential equations
Integral Calculus
AP®︎/College Calculus BC
Calculus 1
Calculus 2
Multivariable calculus

I am confused which order to take these in, and which I don't need. Some people are recommending the following general end-to-end order:

Arithmetic
Basic geometry
Pre-algebra
Algebra basics
Algebra 1
Geometry
Algebra 2
AP®︎/College Statistics
Precalculus
Differential Calculus
Integral Calculus
Multivariable Calculus

Your situation is similar to mine except I'm 41. I would also like to eventually be able to do Calculus. I also have read that I would have to start with pre-Algebra and learn Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry before getting into Calculus. Hoping someone will reply and give insight here.

Edit: Wow, I just realized how old the original post is with no helpful reply.

I wish one of the Khan Academy staff answered this question. This question is repeated a lot, but I could not find the right answer for it. I think is a serious question and it would be better answered with one of the Khan Academy staff.

Please let us know what is the best order that we can have it for study specially in Math.

Sincerely,

one of your Big Fan
