Concepts → practice Proof → intuition Code → projects

Math becomes easy to sustain when it’s connected to outcomes: physics simulation, programming, AI training, and engineering design. This page gives you a study math roadmap with resources, PDFs, and practice workflows.

Roadmap (beginner → builder)

If you want to “become a developer”, math becomes a superpower when paired with programming practice.

1) Algebra + functions

Equations, graphs, exponents/logs, trig basics, and modeling.

2) Calculus

Derivatives/integrals, series, multivariable calc, intuition + computation.

3) Linear algebra

Vectors, matrices, eigenvalues, SVD, and geometry for ML/graphics.

4) Probability + statistics

Distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, Bayesian basics.

5) Optimization

Gradients, convexity, constraints, and practical optimization thinking.

6) Numerical methods

Floating point, error, linear solvers, integration/ODEs, Monte Carlo.

Interactive practice (recommended)

The fastest path is: learn → do problems → code → reflect.

Use the AI tutor (structured)

Ask for a practice set and a checklist. Require step-by-step reasoning and sources when using PDFs.

CLI + Python workflow

Build intuition by implementing math: vectors, gradients, solvers, and simple simulations.

PDF library (read + listen)

Use the built-in PDFs and have pages read aloud for long study sessions.
