Recommended path for self-study math and CS?
ltbarcly: You can't make a reasonable self study. People will say you can, but they are full of crap.  There are maybe a few hundred people in the world who can do something like that, and they are all top caliber geniuses.In reality, we need the pressure of school to push us into spending the unpleasent effort to get the hard stuff into our heads.  Otherwise you skim books and dick around and have nothing to show for it other than an ability flip out buzzwords on internet forums.After all, why do you think there are colleges that teach this stuff?  If you could just pick up books and learn it just as well as you can at college, why do people who are at college have to cram and study so much?  After all, they are reading the material just like you, and they have the advantage of TA's, other students, and professors to guide and tutor them along.  The fact is that you have basically no chance if you go it alone.  Good luck.
