I am very appreciative! I've been on a Math journey since I retired a couple of years ago and I agree with all the books you've mentioned that I know and look forward to picking up some of the one I do not know. I agree baby Rudin is essential, but I find it tough going.

Some books I liked for self study because they have answers:

Introduction to Analysis, Mattock.

Elementary Differential Geometry, Pressley.

There is also recently Needham's Visual Differential Geometry and Forms, which is great.

Thanks again.

Woo! I have been looking forward to this for a while and became distraught when I recently checked and saw the "coming soon" page at the same URL was gone. It looks like it will be another fantastic resource for independent learning.

I have heard good things about Hammack's *Book of Proof* and am interested to hear if anyone has read it and Velleman's *How To Prove It* and can compare/contrast the two (ideally through the lens of independent study).

Hey Susan. I'm 15 years old girl and I just wanna say thank you for writing super helpful and perfect guides. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! I always want to self-learn physics, math, and philosophy but confused how to start it. I learn these fields simply because I love learning it as a passion. Your blog is soo underrated. I suggest that you also create the computer science guide. Thanks susan I love you so much ❤

Hi Susan your guide is really great but its missing some fields such as Probability and Statistics, Differential Geometry. So please include them in the next revision.

Perfect timing! Been looking to refresh my math for some jobs and general practice and this framework is perfect. Thank you!

Not difficult to learn but time consuming.

Hi Susan, You are such an inspiration for an autodidact like me! I came to know that you learnt Computer Science on your own too. I would be really helpful for people like me starting out CS if you would put the guide on the same too.
