Building a step by step course for different subjects in mathematics

AI Thread Summary
To build a structured self-study course in linear algebra, optimization, statistics, and probability, it's essential to progress through various levels from beginner to advanced. Utilizing tools like Obsidian can enhance note-taking and organization, allowing for interconnected notes that resemble a personal knowledge base. For resources, a dedicated thread on math books is available, and platforms like Khan Academy and Math Is Power 4 U offer extensive video content covering essential topics from middle school to early college-level mathematics. These resources provide a solid foundation for anyone pursuing self-study in these mathematical fields. Additionally, exploring articles on self-study strategies can further aid in developing an effective learning plan.

Hi,

I mostly do Self study and I was wondering how to build up a course ie the.different levels from beginner to advanced in the fields of linear algebra, optimization (rbfs etc), statistics and probability? Suggestions of books with the various levels is welcome. Please help me out in this as I am all over the place

Well one thing you could check out is Obsidian. Its a kind of note taking application that uses markdown+latex for entering notes. Notes can reference other notes to basically create a personal wikipedia of your notes.

I've been playing with it for a awhile now and like what it can do. You could use it to organize and interconnect your notes and thoughts on math.

We have a thread dedicated to math books:

https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/free-math-books.796225/

and there are good short videos on math at www.khanacademy.com and at www.mathispower4u.com

I particularly like Math Is Power 4 U since its a comprehensive set of 5000 videos covering middle school to first year college Calculus 1,2,3 Linear Algebra, Differential Equations and Statistics. Everything a budding scientist needs for undergraduate studies at college.

guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
