I added the 'extreme' part to generate a cool acronym: P.E.P.
I want to review/learn as much as I can from physics & mathematics, in my spare time(!).
I started out with quantum mechanics & solid state physics, yet I discovered that my notions of classical physics are poor.
So I turned to classical mechanics & electrodynamics, then it became obvious to me that my basic math skills were also underachieving.
So I must add calculus, linear algebra and differential equations as well.
Of course I once studied this material, but it's so far away.Plus, my brains are rusty, not in shape.
I'm trying to get a nice logical order of subjects.
Phase 1:
Calculus =>Linear Algebra => Differential Equations
combined with
Classical Mechanics followed by Electrodynamics.
Is that a good start?
For Calculus, I use Stewart, Linear Algebra : Lay
Differential Equations: Boyce
Classical Mechanics: Classical Dynamics Particles/Systems
Elektrodynamics: Griffiths
I'm planning to review these subjects as profoundly as possible in as much as 2-3 months.
After that, I throw in Thermodynamics/Statistical Mechanics/Quantum Mechanics/Solid State Physics.
Possibly Abstract Algebra as well.
Problem is: I'm terrible at organizing, so advice/suggestions are more than welcome. :)
