So you want to study mathematics

The curriculum guides Susan Rigetti provides are an amazing resource for self-study. And the fact that she worked through all of this is truly inspiring.

Not to be greedy, but do any of you know of other thorough curriculum guides like this? I know about https://teachyourselfcs.com already -- another amazing guide. Are there others? I would love to find one for statistics especially, but really any subject would be interesting.

Susskind’s Theoretical Minimum is fantastic for physics self study: https://theoreticalminimum.com/

I posted recently asking for exactly this... but for medicine.

I have a body, everyone I know has a body.

The operate pretty much the same everywhere in the world.

I would like to know how it works.

You could try these:

1. How the Body Works from DK.

2. The Machinery of Life by Goodsell.

Check them out.

DK books are great to get introduced to something new- get a lay of the land, learn introductory jargons, etc.
