<<Emphasis added.>> Note: OP's own words. OP: These, including your own words, sum it up. As I, and others, have posted in...

Yes. And I'd like to point out that Venn diagrams are particularly effective for communicating with non-mathematical audiences. At one...

:H Brings back bad memories from many decades ago. Set theory was the pivotal theme for the "new math" in the US, foisted on innocent...

And then there are some who would say, "Errr ... pen and paper? What are those?"

The OP is even more confused about what they're after. They stated that they want to pursue math and physics to satisfy their own...

True. But the OP needs to sort out in their own head whether they want to learn and understand math properly, or whether they are...

You are contradicting yourself. Do you wish to pursue a subject matter purely for intellectual curiosity, self-satisfaction, and...

But why should you care? You led off by stating that you don't intend to pursue math and physics as a career, but to satisfy your own...

OK. I understand you better now. But only the OP can tell us whether they will be happy if they have the opportunity to learn a...

Your profile states that you're working towards a PhD in math [though I'm not sure I understand the entries in your profile correctly.]...

No problem. What's important is that the OP receives accurate information on which to base a decision, and your follow-up post provides...

It's not worthwhile pursuing this further, since there has been good agreement that a course in solid-state physics will have value for...
