I want to make a hobby out of math and science. I figure I need to dedicate a few hours each week to studying to make it happen. I always scored really high on math portions of standardized tests, but if you asked me to show you a theorem or do a proof I couldn't.

Where do I start?

Start with shit that sounds interesting to you. If you have no interest in what you are looking up then what is the point?

>0.99999..... = 1
>1+1/4+1/9+1/16+... = (Pi^2)/6
>Pi is transcendental
>e^(i*x) = Cos[x]+i*Sin[x]

I'm just throwing random shit at you that can be proved but you need to find topics that are actually interesting to you.

Any true scientist will tell you grades do not matter. Its good that you can achieve high grades, but anyone thats even marginally talented, or has a knack with memorization, can do that. The day you let go of your beliefs of any standardized scores, and focus on learning itself - pure unadulterated knowledge - is the day you will start on the path of becoming a scientist
