Yes. It's not any harder to learn this stuff as you get older, in my own experience, despite what people sometimes think.

Only personal experience, but: I found learning complex technical concepts far easier in my late 20's than I did as new college entrant at 18-19. Including all the math.

So, not sure why people like to say that you learn this stuff easier when you're younger. For me, it was exactly the opposite.
