What's the best way of learning mathematics from scratch all the way to abstract algebra and complex analysis? I know there's a chart but i heard it isn't very good and i don't want to use khanacademy either.

You mean absolute scratch? Study precalculus. If you already know the basics, follow Oxford's curriculum along with lecture notes and recommended textbooks (all posted in their website).

They don't offer high school level math courses for college students here

Trigonometry and basic algebra then calculus and basic topology then advanced calculus (2/3) and linear algebra then complex analysis and advanced linear algebra. All of them are nightmares

what is your current situation like? are you in college? can you do online correspondence courses at an adult learning school near you?

the absolute best way to learn math is with a teacher. if you try going from the foundations to shit like you mentioned by yourself without a real life-or-death reason or a genuine burning passion for math, you WILL burn out and you'll have gained nothing and have lost your time and money

I used to be passionate about it but i feel like i never learned it properly and then i became a neet. I went through a precalculus book years ago but i feel i forgot everything.

buddy you have more important things to worry about right now than learning complex analysis

well, if you want i can let you in on a little secret: just take a heroic dose of LSD and you'll remember everything about precalculus, and you will awaken the innate understanding of all maths (like in Plato's Meno) within you.

all you have to do is take about ~200-400 mg of LSD and think deeply about your life. trust me itll work

you can learn as much as you want via textbooks and online resources if you're self-motivated. just be mindful that once you start writing formal proofs, if you have no one to correct your mistakes you may never correct your bad habits.

that's reason enough for you not to self-study something like math

You can ask at plebbit/mathexchange or, shoot, maybe even /sci/

Best way is a book on linear algebra and real analysis. High school math is a waste of time and won't give you any useful foundation or the ability to understand abstract ideas.
I couldn't even integrate any non-trivial function and surely didn't remember any trigonometric meme garbage when I started my degree.

math stack exchange is probably your best bet. so long as you have attempted a solution. if you're doing this all on your own, it's probably worthwhile to pick up a proof methods texts for reference.

no, these useless NEET fucks wouldnt even help a guy who needed help with a very trivial linear algebra problem, even when he offered like 50 USD to anyone that helped him solve it on discord. if anything they will report you for trying to have them solve your homework
