Hey! Now I am also just starting to study secondary math and precalculus, so I am in search of good resources and help. Since I don’t understand a lot of things and I cannot to solve on my own. I have advised you one more resource that I found yesterday. It is called Plainmath, where you can ask any question that interests you. I hope this will help you (as well as me) understand many of the nuances.

You can always find help in our homework forums on PF, and some good sources here:

There might be better ones, but OpenStax allows you to figure out what you do understand already and what not for free.

High school? Secondary Math? Tell exactly what you are studying. One way to view the progression of Mathematics courses which may be available to high school students on a college preparatory "track" is
(1) Algebra 1 (basic, introductory, elementary)
(2) Algebra 2 (intermediate)
(3) "Mathematical Analysis"(not very good terminology) (Pre-Calculus, or easily thought as Algebra 3)
 
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...
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...
