I've been following a breadth-first-based-on-my-interests approach for the last several years. It's not been very systematic, but it's been a lot of fun. I think math is essentially clear thinking, and it's best when it's explored from curiosity.
A couple resources I would recommend would be:
* A book called "Who Is Fourier? A Mathematical Adventure", which touches on a pretty good variety of math topics. It's aimed at children, but it's probably the best math book I've ever seen. It's the only math book I've ever read cover-to-cover.
* 3Blue1Brown's youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw (as well as other math videos)
- mywittyname 8y ago3B1B is amazing at explaining concepts. Lots of commenters in his videos studies math/cs/physics and tell stories about finally understanding a topic they misunderstood in university. His videos, I think, are best consumed twice: once before you explore a topic, so that you go in with a solid overview and know the key things to look out for; and again after you've studied in depth, when you are able to predict what he will say next, which reinforces you learning.
