How do I teach myself mathematics?

Proper maths that is, not just number crunching.

What textbook? I'd really like to understand more expressive mathematics.

To do it seriously, start from the earlier courses and build your way up, doing exercises. Use textbook recommendations from the top link if you want. It's hard work. To be honest I'm not sure how possible it is to become extremely good without formal education, unless you're ridiculously dedicated or clever. Wikipedia and stackexchange are actually great resources too.

Alternatively dip into areas which you find interesting. Things like graph theory don't require so much prerequisite knowledge compared to, say, differential geometry.

Can give more information if you're seriously interested. What do you mean by expressive mathematics? You may find that actually becoming competent isn't so exciting compared to reading about pop-math style facts.

Don't use /sci/. The FAQ is alright but the board in general will not help you learn.

Your first mistake would be giving a fuck about Harry Potter.

>>9281562

The entire Harry Potter universe is saturated with extremely reactionary themes and tropes.

Harry Potter is fascinating as a cultural phenomenon, as is YA, regardless of the fact that it's shit in its own right.

Could be for selfish reasons.
When you kill someone, it "tears your soul". Might be safer to just torture 'em?

Was this suppose to be hilarious? I had to stop reading it on the train because I'd constantly be in titters and it'd attract attention. I genuinely broke into a vocal fucking guffaw when I read

Anyone else have this reaction? I honestly can't tell if its intentional.
