What's an interesting math course I won't get bored with after three videos?

Preferably computer related.
And / or, I would also like to learn more math notation. I've tried get a grasp of math notation but I was doing more attempts at memorization that didn't stick. If I could do something useful, or learn something interesting to do with I would I think I would pick it up.

Number theory
Combinatorics
Abstract algebra (group/ring/field theory)
Linear algebra

These can all be applied in CS. The problem is that you won't find any of them focusing much on CS. They might mention them in passing. Though these are very fun (at least for me, but not linear algebra).

Thanks. Did you ever see a good video course on any of this? Do you think I should ween myself off of video and read instead?

linear algebra is "fun" about the end, when studying projections, vector spaces with inner product, and so. Anything before vector spaces is just some kind of "advanced algebra". Vector spaces, linear transformations and the exercises and examples involving continuous functions are nice to try.

Probably, yeah.

Abstract Algebra: Use Pinter's "A Book of Abstract Algebra". It was my first intro to real math. Learned how to do proofs properly AND some group/ring theory. I don't recall that the fields part was good; it went over it quickly.

Number Theory and Combinatorics: I learned these from a Discrete Math course (CS course), but then I REALLY learned them from "practical experience" solving problems on Project Euler. I can't recommend a book, but I hear Ireland and Rosen is a good one for Number Theory. Idk about Combinatorics.

For Linear Algebra, I know I said to avoid videos, but people really praise 3Blue1Brown's "Essence of Linear Algebra" series on YouTube.

Mathematical physics by carl bender.
You get to learn some black magic about accelerating convergence, summing divergent series, asymptotics, and WKB.

Sounds like applied math and numerical analysis lumped together.

Frederich Schuller's "Geometrical anatomy of theorethical physics" is an entertaining but rigorous lecture series on differential geometry. Highly recommended

Nothing. You have 0 attention span

The first course is 'what you will learn in this course' then things just progress too slowly. The speaker enjoys hearing himself talk and has no regard for the viewer.
Then they don't do a good job explaining a key component and I'm lost. Or they are reading off a long equation without the mouse curser on the symbol.
Just asking for well done courses.
