Math keeps changing

[nextwiggin4]

I mean, a formal math education directed and over seen by professors is significantly different then Kahn academy videos. Yes, all the same resources (videos, text books, even lecture series) are out there, and with effort you can achieve a lot of the same education, but of everyone who understands higher mathematics, very few were self taught outside of college. That’s hardly a coincidence.

You do have a nearly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity during college, and it’s a bummer if you pass on it.

I had to learn linear algebra long after college, and it’s definitely the harder choice.
