Are there any autodidacts here? Is it even possible to feasibly teach yourself mathematics from rudimentary topics to advanced level areas?

I want to become an astute mathematician with an emphasis on statistics and probability theory (focusing on financial applications). Any suggestions?

You'll get bored and unmotivated before you get good. People do exams because they have a formal reason to, it's otherwise hard to convince yourself of actually knowing about things.

I went that route, but it would have been quicker to do an undergrad degree in mathematics and build from that.

When you're talking about finance, I'm sorry to say it won't make you rich. Already done what you're thinking about. You're better off getting any degree from a feeder uni and becoming a retarded banker with decent pay.

Yes, I taught myself nearly everything I know. I had extreme anxiety through undergrad and never turned up to my lectures. Even before then, I hated school so much that I pretty much just taught myself from Schaum’s outlines.
Just get books with solved problems and try to solve them before looking at the solutions.

You can make it through 100% of undergrad material by yourself. I think it gets a bit tougher beyond that.

this is quite a leap
like the orther anon said, you won't be rich like this
the maths level to "ensure" you'll make better investments that everyone else is way above the subjects you talked about

but if you still want this, just take night courses. The fact that your maths level is level only prealgebra doesn't look good at all. Unless your a kid lying about being a banker

anyway, once your good with prealgebra, continue with "algebra" (whatever that means in anglo countries) and calculus

I went to university to study mathematics and I was basically an autodidact, skipped every lecture and tutorial, read textbooks
Obviously had my exams and assignments marked
Didn't talk to anyone in my classes

no. I'm do not now enough of the maths of finance. But I know enough to know that it's complex
I know that there is model that use fluid mechanics, there's high frequency traiding, there's big financial actors like black rock that make smart investment with the help of huge amount of data about every facet of society, there big financial actors like goldman sacchs that just lye, manipulate, bribe, cheat and fuck everyone else, even their own clients. There is also central banks and money creation. There is news, geopolitics, etc.. Plus fear that dollar will fall in the coming years

why don't you change career if you want to make money ? Like somewhere engineering maybe. But maybe you make more than that already

You were an autodidact as a small child, nobody forced you to learn to communicate your native tongue or climb objects.

there's no such thing as an "autodidact", anyone "teaching themselves" is studying off of textbooks, watching video lectures, googling and snooping through old forum posts, and probably asking questions to people on all kinds of forums too. You can't even say they "didn't go to school", they're reading the same books and watching the same lectures and browsing the same forums as any college kid.

I’ve taught myself IUT and I’m already in the top 8 leading experts in the world. Finance is humanities not math so you won’t have the same experience but I wish you the best of luck teaching yourself to be a vampire squid
