I have a BSc in computer engineering and part of the major was just a couple of calculus and discrete math courses. I want to expand my knowledge in mathematics through online courses. Is there a specialized website that offers courses in various mathematics fields?

#2My own way to expand my knowledge was by going through textbooks and with a heavy support of Math StackExchange.
Maths is a very written-oriented domain, but still if you are more a video-oriented learner you can probably find a lot on Youtube, and a lot of great researchers have videos there.

#3MIT OCW: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/
I mostly fudge together what I need from that and Khan Academy when I’ve forgotten something fundamental.

#4I am not sure what your "discrete math courses" were and if you have already taken these but, the Linear Algebra and Differential Equations courses on Kahn Academy are solid intros to the basics of those subjects.

#5books are still a thing.

#6Khan Academy is great for this.

#8https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/ is a good place to review continuous maths.

#9It's probably way easier to decide on a subject you want to learn more about, and find the most approachable textbook / lecture notes on e.g. StackExchange. It doesn't make sense to choose courses (or even subjects to learn) based on whether video lectures are available.
I don't maintain a collection of these, but I can probably recommend
* Stephen Abbott, Understanding Analysis, for mathematical analysis and a little bit of real analysis
* David Williams, Probability with Martingales, for advanced probability
* Dym and McKean, Fourier Series and Integrals
Alternatively if you have a more cursory interest, you can probably check out Metacademy [1] which provides roadmaps to learning a variety of math (and ML) concepts.

Although I am a bit interested in number theory, linear algebra and a bit of calculus and its applications, I still haven't fixed my mind on specific fields. Now from time to time I watch videos on popular math YouTube channels so I can see what I like most.
