Assuming one has no problem understanding undergrad math textbooks, doesn't have a girlfriend, doesn't have a job, doesn't leave the house, will study for up to 12 hours a day, and is prepared to hold in a shit a little longer than usual, how fast can one get through an undergrad math curriculum?

I plan to do as much of the whole khan academy course all the way from 1st grade to calculas during this winter break. Anyone else ever tried this? how long did that take?

There are typically between 24 and 32 courses in an undergrad degree. If we say that each course works through one textbook, then you'll need to work through at least 24 math textbooks on various topics. If you spend most of your waking time doing this, you might be able to finish between 1 and 1.5 books per month. So overall I'd say if you're really dedicated and spend all your time, you could do it in 1.5 to 2 years. Check out math wizard on youtube for recommended resources. Good luck :)

>undergrad math curriculum
I don't recommend it. Do the bare minimum you can to get to intro grad textbooks and use them instead. You'll want something on linear algebra, real analysis, abstract algebra and topology.

not op but can I go Abbott+Spivak -> Pugh -> [graduate analysis textbook]? Or do I really need to work through baby Rudin?

I've never heard a good argument why some boards don't have per-thread IDs enabled. It's more annoying to me than all the Hirobux CAPTCHAs.

You can give yourself a name if you want.
Do you think IDs should be mandatory?

baby rudin isn't an absolute requirement, the reason its often recommended is because the exercises are good and doing them will help just about anyone improve. So you should be fine.

I know this is a meme but If you do every problem in the book/ try to prove every statement (that seems like it needs to be proved to you) (lets use something like H&Ks Linear algebra)
the first chapter might take a week or 2 depending on how much reference material you need
you will probably need the same amount of time +- 2 days for each chapter til whenever you click probably around chapter 6 for most people (though most people try to do as little work as possible effectively hamstringing themselves)
Now you will be finishing each chapter in a week and you will go on to another book and you will "speed through" in a 3-4 months but you will have done 100x the work of someone getting a B in a class based on that book.

Probably like 1-2 weeks per course so depending what you mean by "circulum", if you mean 4 years of undergrad, that's probably like 16 or so math classes, so maybe around 16-32 weeks, most likely the high end, 32+ weeks, because even if you are an autist, 12+ hours a day 7 days a week will be mentally exhausting to the point you will have trouble absorbing it all, sometimes time away lets the stuff sink in more so I would recommend taking a few days per week off and just shitpost or play vidya or something. It lets yourself subconsciously process the stuff you've learned in previous days.

Precalculus by Stitz and Zeager
Calculus by Keisler, cross-referencing Calculus Volume 1 and Calculus Volume 2 by Apostol as necessary
then whatever you wanna do next kek

>12 hours a day
>~100 hours for a single fucking chapter
You must be literally 50 IQ if it takes you around a hundred fucking hours for one fucking chapter.

Any midwit could regurgitate a book proof in an hour having not done any work.
It takes actual work to prove a theorem without already knowing the proof.
Do you think Apostle wrote his book in a couple of months?
