• I'm 30 and I want to learn mathematics. Where should I start? Books / Udemy Courses?

  Https://mathworld.wolfram.com/ is great for defining things. Their explanation as to why square roots are only positive (or why we only use the principal square root even though its plausible that we could use negative and positive) is my favorite.

• [Q] how to read stats textbook in < 3 weeks

  I think you would benefit greatly from reading a section and highlighting concepts you don't understand and look them up in Mathworld, it will help with definitions of specific things. After each section it may also help to look at implementations of these in the programming language you are using whether it be python with tensorflow or C etc. Source: over 1 year ago
