multiple. you need to be able to recall things in a wide context. if you only take one you might "cache" some techniques, and never commit the ideas to long term memory

When self-learning, I would still resort to school books or curriculum and follow them approximately in order they are meant to take. So take one wholeness at the time from each subject, they complete each other's knowledge. School books have good basic knowledge that is essential to later learning and understanding. Do not take shortcuts, you need to understand the basic stuff and have all the terms in order to grasp more complicated scientific papers. Do not skip exercises, if you can't solve them, you lack some basic angle that is needed later on. This is important, trust me. It is easier to turn one page back and check what you miss than later on, be totally confused and look the location of that information, get frustrated and ultimately give up. Those exercises are designed to test the precisely the information that you need.

google "interleaving". This is what I understand about it from the book "A Mind for Numbers" (it's about learning how to learn):
It's a better idea to combine learning multiple different things at the same time. This allows you to better combine the things you learn, i.e. you make connections you otherwise wouldn't and "it makes you more creative and free with the material later" (so to say).
Psychologists researching people studying mathematics have come to this conclusion, according to the book.
