QUESTION FOR A MATH PH.D.. I STUDY MATH IN MY FREE TIME AND WOULD APPRECIATE SOME ADVICE ON HOW TO DO IT…?
I did a little investigate as well as couldn’t find any source which is improved for summing up a vital branches of arithmetic than wikipedia. According to them a vital fields as well as topics have been as follows.
Quantity: Arithmetic- healthy numbers to formidable numbers etc.
Space: Geometry, Trigonometry, Differential Geometry, Topology, Fractal Geometry
Change: Calculus, Vector Calculus, Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems, Chaos Theory
Structure: Number Theory, Abstract Algebra, Group Theory, Order Theory
Foundations as well as Philosophy: Mathematical Logic, Set Theory, Category Theory
Discrete Mathematics: Combinatorics, Theory of Computation, Cryptography, Graph Theory
Applied Mathematics: Mathematical Physics, Mathematical Fluid Dynamics, Numerical Analysis, Optimization, Probability Theory, Statistics, Financial Mathematics, Game Theory
1. According to your believe does this list total up all a categorical branches/topics of math or does it tumble short?
2. I’m gifted in math as well as investigate it in my giveaway time. we would similar to to sense a basics/introductory element for any bend (I know any particular bend by itself might have some-more element than a single can sense in a lifetime if we go in depth). we know it will take prolonged as well as though a highbrow it will take even longer, though we do not mind. This is a hobby of mine.
In what sequence we should investigate these categorical topics so which we do not confront any report gaps along a way, in what sequence should we investigate them for a many continuity?
Also, does investigate of any of a listed categorical branches need a little in abyss believe of alternative branches over a basics?
3. If we did sense a basis of all these branches, what percent of well known arithmetic will we know- would we be only scratching a surface?
4. What textbooks would we suggest for a little or all of these branches of math for study?
Thank we for your advice.

You definitely missed Linear Algebra. A core of a good mathematical foundation consist of:
Quantity: Arithmetic- natural numbers to complex numbers etc.
Space: Geometry, Trigonometry, Differential Geometry.
Change: Calculus, Vector Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Dynamical Systems.
As you can see most of these topics you listed already. If you will have a good grasp of them – everything else would not represent a big problems.
For all pre-calculus courses I would recommend:
College Algebra (Bittinger, Beecher, Ellenbogen and Penna)
Trigonometry (Lial, Hornsby Schneider)
Calculus: Calculus (Larson, Hostetler, Edwards)
Differential equations: Differential Equations with Modeling Applications (Dennis G. Zill) you may find better at the time you come to it).
Linear Algebra: Linear Algebra with Applications (Gareth Williams) (It might be not the best, but I just use it).
I, personally, do not find deep satisfaction on scratching the surfaces of any possible Math topics, but rather find an area that needed for advanced technology or science and (I think it is the most important) where not very much research has been done.
Good luck.
