Thank you for your response. I have a couple of broad goals. For example, I want to get to the point where I can study general relativity say at the level of Wald, really understand the mathematics behind it, and then maybe take it further into cosmology or Choquet-Bruhat’s more mathematical GR...

Thanks for you response. I want to say it was Kleppner and Purcell but it was so long ago I don't remember. I am basically starting over so I have good foundation.

Thank you for your response and recommendations. Yeah I understand they are basically different languages. My goals really from the mathematical perspective are to be not only adept using the mathematics involved in higher level physics but also to understand why the techniques themselves...

I am self studying physics as a hobby with the very broad goals of eventually learning theoretical analytical mechanics, EM, general relativity, etc. I have no specific deadlines. My two questions are: With regards to learning the required math, if there is no particular rush, is it better to...
