About to finish high school and I want to start learning math despite not taking advance math since grade 10, what best approach?
Whenever I start learning I get bored because I don't wanna be going over shit I've already learnt.

This is something I would like to know too. I am car mechanic by training and I am studying mathematics at khan academy so that I am ready for university next year. I am going to study mechanical engineering as my major and mathematics as minor.

I feel you bro, I'm studying algebra, analitic geometry, trigonometry and precalc stuff, but I think that's no enough.

>Mathematical Logic, Set Theory (Enderton)
>Math. Methods (ODE/PDE/Numerical)
>The entire CS curriculum
>Financial Mathematics (Wilmott)
>Landau Course in Theoretical Physics

Advanced:
>Bourbaki
>Whatever you want

There’s nothing wrong with Khan Academy. There are pretentious autists on this site like the guy who said KA was “engineer bullshit” who deride any learning resource that isn’t some obscure text they consider to be the gold standard for a particular subject. You should be practical when it comes to learning. Do what works for you and don’t let someone tell you are wrong for learning from a particular book/resource.

First, make sure you know the basics of algebra. Then focus on learning pre-calculus (there's a billion sources on this). Once you're comfortable with that start in on calculus, pick up then some linear algebra. Should get you on a good track.

why the fuck would you learn analysis by Tao before calculus

why do you need to learn calculus at all?

go straight from basic Mathematics to tao, Lang is a rigorous pre-calc course and Tao builds up to analysis from first principles - a natural continuation. it is not necessary to waste time on calculus. unless, of course, you are a brainlet.

the fundamentals are included in the first chapters of Tao vol 1. no need for a separate text on set theory

If you are sub 150IQ like me, you're probably gonna have a much easier time learning math for something, as opposed to just in itself. I did a math undergrad then a ml focused ms, and probability, calculus, linear and abstract algebra, and differential geometry are what stuck with me since those were what I put to use much.

you don't really need calculus for analysis.
I read simmons calculus for physics, so I could do a physics book, but then I went into analysis.

KA isn't as good as most textbooks, that's just a fact.
uses Khan as your majority of foundation won't be a good return.
