Self-taught as well with a strong emphasis on the liberal arts and a special focus on Mathematics. I make it a habit to learn new languages often, particularly esoteric languages (I'm also learning Greek in the natural languages). The self-educational path is more involved than some people tend to think; it really is a replacement for going to college, for me. I've created my own curriculum, read the classics, write essays - proofread them over and over (in lieu of being graded) - do a lot of projects that are relevant to the material I'm studying, etc... Time can be tough to find when I do this - in general I have a "part time" schedule at night after I'm done working (I've cofounded a startup); I have a history of going through self-education "phases" that usually mean I stop working for a period of months and focus full-time on my study material and personal projects... Rigor, though, can be an issue sometimes. I'm still working on intensifying my studying in the time that I spend on it.
