Self Taught Education

So in coming to the end of my “Schooling” (Note: I will probably be back) I realise that much in the world I should be able to learn without a teacher or a mentor (With a few exceptions).

I never wanted to pursue an education in IT because I assumed that I could teach myself much of the content (It’s working pretty good so far) and this has extended to many other areas. I have learned that Wikipedia and similar sites are a tremendous gift and that Google is an omnipotent being.

However there is one area that interests me but is very daunting. This is mathematics, I did well but not great when studying maths in high school, further in IT and accounting there are some basic mathematic skills required. But the area of Pure Mathematics is something of a black hole.

I would really like to learn more about this,

Strategy:

  • Find some Good general books on mathematics.
  • Find some Good lecture notes (Provided by online university).
  • Use Khan academy to develop basic skills some more.

I have already found some books and notes that I think would be useful but I need to look more into it.

Challenge Accepted!
