A few years ago, just for fun, I enrolled in a UCLA extension course on Measure Theory: https://uclaextension.edu/pages/Course.aspx?reg=Z5529 https://uclaextens

It stretched my brain in ways that my day job doesn't. I've since continued to take all of the courses in the series, which are always about "interesting" mathematics. The professor (Dr. Michael Miller) has been teaching these graduate-level extension courses for something like 20+ years. If you are in the area of UCLA, I highly recommend attending. Sadly, there's no online option, so you'll have to be a local.
More info on the course from another student (and clear fan): http://boffosocko.com/2015/09/22/dr-michael-miller-math-class-hints-and-tips-ucla-extension/ http://boffosocko.com/2015/09/22/dr-michael-miller-math-clas...
- tribe 11y agoUnfortunately, I don't live near UCLA (Does anyone know of a similar program in the Boston area?). However, I have found that it is not too hard to learn advanced math without the help of an instructor. A couple math-inclined co-workers and I have been reading Topology by Munkres. Since it is such a popular textbook, there are plenty of solutions to exercises online. Working with other people makes it easier to ask questions if you are confused, and also helps me stay motivated.
