AI Thread Summary
Upper-division math courses are available online from various universities, with MIT's OpenCourseWare and Berkeley's Math Course Archive being notable resources. In addition to these courses, users are encouraged to explore authoritative math blogs and articles, such as those by mathematicians Timothy Gowers and Terence Tao, as well as the Scholarpedia for reliable information. While Wikipedia can be useful for keyword searches, it is advised to rely on more credible sources for in-depth study.

There's always http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/index.htm, another page I check every now and then is the Berkeley's Math Course Archive.

Hope that helps.
 
This isn't quite what you asked for, but you should also bookmark websites which offer authoritative expository posts/articles, such as

http://gowers.wordpress.com/
http://terrytao.wordpress.com/
http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Encyclopedia_of_Dynamical_Systems

But you should avoid Wikipedia and other sometimes less than reliable sources. (I advocate using Wikipedia to get some keywords you can try using in a literature search at your local research library, however.)
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
