Studying What is the correct order of all Mathematics topics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The correct order of learning mathematics begins with Set Theory, followed by Arithmetic. From there, students can branch into Algebra and Geometry concurrently. The progression continues through Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Discrete Mathematics, ultimately leading to advanced topics such as Differential Equations and Numerical Analysis. Resources such as Stack Exchange threads and a curriculum from Berkeley provide structured pathways for self-study in mathematics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Set Theory
  • Basic Arithmetic skills
  • Familiarity with Algebra and Geometry
  • Knowledge of Calculus fundamentals
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Stack Exchange thread on mathematics study topics
  • Review the complete course of self-study linked in the discussion
  • Study the curriculum provided by Berkeley for a structured approach
  • Investigate the relationship between Linear Algebra and Differential Equations
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and self-learners in mathematics seeking a structured approach to mastering mathematical concepts from foundational to advanced levels.

I've trying to organize my path of study in mathematics, but in every resources online are different. Can anyone request a great order of learning them or a real curriculum of schools. Thanks.

Most people start by learning how to count. If you don't need to go back that far, you might want to tell us what level you're starting from.

The title of this thread is amusing. Correct order, indeed. But anyway, I bookmarked these stackexchange threads that may be helpful to you:

And this was one of the best offerings in the thread above: https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~abhishek/chicmath.htm

If you're like me, you'll go in between bouts of wanting to do things very strictly and systematically and then getting impatient and flitting back and forth between whatever seems interesting at the moment.
 
I mean, I guess all of mathematics is founded upon Set Theory. Then Arithmetic. After that you could branch into Algebra or Geometry, or both simultaneously. Then into Calculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics. And eventually you arrive at Differential Equations, Numerical Analysis, and all the other fields most people probably never touch. Oh, and I guess you can throw Statistics in there somewhere.
 
TL;DR: How can I begin to gain an understanding of astronomy? Hello there, and thank you in advance to anyone that might answer this. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post a question like this, as I am new to this website and also very nervous about making a post that others might see/reply to. I am a freshman in high school and I am interested in astronomy. I want to learn about space, but I am not quite sure where to begin. Is there anything that I can do to seriously expand my...
