Maybe just focus on a goal, learning X Theory, and learn the math required for it instead of doing MOOCs and Textbooks like a weirdo.

It's a high school level book. What do you expect.

It is? Was it designed with that intention?

I am asking if that book was designed with highschool computer science classes in mind that are not AP.

It's a crash course overview like "What Is Mathematics" or "Concepts of Modern Mathematics" but even more elementary.

>that are not AP

Of course not as it doesn't closely correspond to a standard college course.

Self-studying should be project-oriented.
