I collected as many books as I can but now the problem is how can I set a curriculum for myself.

>Background

I'm a Third Year Computer Science student who has always struggled with maths, as a result, I barely passed every maths course that was in my curriculum.

Now it's been haunting me and now I want to sort of redeem myself in Mathematics where I felt short, my plan is to pursue a online Maths degree while I work full time as a Software Developer.

Can /sci/ please help me sort out where to start with pic related subjects? I appreciate the help thank you.

>> No.11092597

>>11092575
You
1) are currently a student
2) want a Maths degree
3) want to work full time
Mate, you can only pick two and even then you won't be able to fully realize yourself in both.
If you plan on working full time, you won't have time for anything, believe me.
You are a CS student, you don't need math. Just basic calculus and linear algebra cover almost anything in CS.

>online Maths degree
Had a good laugh from this one.
By the way, your choice of topics implies you are interested in applied maths, you should have stated that somewhere. Maybe there are fancy "online degrees" nowadays that teach Caley manifolds, cohomologies, and derived functors, who knows.

You've spent the last 2 months downloading pdfs and have learned absolutely no math at all.
God I hate "muh curriculum" fags. If you actually had any interest in math you'd pick up a fucking book and read it instead of downloading enough reading material for 6 years of full-time study and meticulously organizing it all into a linear sequence before you even start.

start by brushing up on everything with khan academy. then a intro to proofs book like book of proof or a transition to advanced mathematics. then you can finally start, any intro to analysis or algebra book will provide you with the basics of set theory & logic you need to continue but that'll just be a review at this point since you've already been exposed to it.

I have some general knowledge in maths required for a CS Major like Discrete math, Algorithms, Automata, Probability and Physics.

However I only barely passed those subjects while I did very well in the programming parts of my course. I can't retake those maths courses again sadly but I want to be better at them.

My endgame goal is to have a solid foundation in Mathematics for a Computer Scientist within two years and then know everything a Mathematician should know within four to six years.

I may or may not, I do however have an grudge I want to get rid of by getting an Online Math Degree where possible.

Differential Galois theory is a niche, not particularly useful topic that very few people know or care about.
Galois theory is one of the fundamental pieces of modern algebra that literally anyone past the first semester of graduate studies knows.

You want to get betyer at math, yet you have shit like algebra, number theory, real and complex analysis, and topology on that list.

You've gotta think small and work small and work on your fundamentals precal and calculus until they are completely solid. Then put a ton of time into linear algebra.

I know there are lots of memes saying you're a brainlet for not worrying about this stuff, but it's terrible. Take it slow and make sure you're very good at what you've done before taking your next step.
