Yep, a book with proofs and worked exercises is great for this because you can try to do the proof and then look at the solution to see if you got it reasonably correct. In my case the book covers a lot of stuff that I passively "know", but working problems has helped get be back to an active understanding.
Can you mention some books of this type?

I've had this idea of starting back at basics and relearning math from the beginning since I never "really" learned it besides memorizing and skirting my way through it in school. Do you know a good path or book that's suitable for that?
I had the same idea. I bought myself a Remarkable 2 and signed up to Khan Academy. Now I'm revising algebra basics and I plan to go as advanced as Khan Academy lets me. I was really bad at maths in school (UK A Levels). But I'm a successful software developer today. I felt like knowing more advanced maths could make me a better developer and not feel intimidated by a lot of the things I see. I'm actually enjoying it…
