What's the best way for an adult to learn about math online? Just out of interest, not employment or college related

I saw some people recommending Khan Academy but they were on reddit so I don't trust them

Dude go onto /sci/ for this

This place is a festering cespool of borderline retardation

It's important to get a good understanding of foundations. You should start by reading principia mathematica by russell and whitehead. Then go to ncatlab.org and start learning about categories and sheaves.

Get a proper textbook, easy to find pdfs online, and do the exercises. Try to avoid skimming or skipping chapters and exercises as you may tend to as a self taught. Shit like khan academy is more of a tutorial style aimed at lazy procrastinating students to cram for exams.

I would probably read the /sci/ sticky.

I'd start with free math books. Read and practice daily. You can find help through khan academy but persistence pays. Right now I'm teaching myself numerical analysis and stochastic calculus. I started from precal

seconded. check out what universities use and follow that. You can even get the lectures and a lot of the assignments through MIT OCW and similar.

You need a strong background in real analysis and functional analysis to understand stochastic calculus.

Khan academy is great if you pair it with a textbook

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
