Where to go from here? a book question....

Hello,

I stopped studying math after grade 10. Then many years later I did.
1-calculus dairies. (story book with personal calculus experience )
2-idiot's guide to calculus.
3-Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences(Mary Boas)
4-Advance Engineering Mathematics (Erwin Kreyszig)
5-real analysis, and some pure mathematics books, few chapters here and there.
6-little bit of octave/matlab skills.Little bit of c, some python some shell..

As much as I like looking at the symbols and and writing equation on paper and solving them, I get side tracked.. and think why I am doing it?
My question to you is:
How do I connect this stuff to reality?
Or I just learn new stuff and marvel the beauty ??

How do I connect this stuff to reality?

This depends very much on your goal. If nothing else, it helps analyse speeches on TV with respect to their logic consistency. However, I warn you. It might be unpleasant to recognize all the ... politicians are saying.

So I am not the only one finding inconsistent logics all over the place ...
