I agree with the overall sentiment as well. However, 300 hours of study to go from 0 to single & multivariable calculus plus linear algebra doesn't actually sound that bad. 10 hours per week (2 hours per day post work, make up missed days on the weekend) for 30 weeks?

It depends on how many other responsibilities you have or other activities you engage in, and how much you care about the project, I suppose. To me 10 hours of solid study after work is a lot, but other people might throw out some other stuff I do and be willing to spend it studying. I can’t comment on whether it’s a good idea. (I believe there is very much such a thing as too much work ethic).

For us studying physics, thats like 30 hours of actually attending class for each course, so 90 total, then some days of study, say 3 x 8h, thats more like 114h, not 300...
