That's really cool. If you have any pointers to any resources along those lines, I'd be really interested. And I absolutely agree. It's a tragedy that maths is taught in such a dry, unengaging way. I think far more people would enjoy it and excel at it if only it were taught in a way that motivated them. Your experience is one of a million demonstrations of that. For what it's worth, there are a couple of Wikipedia pages which I found to be great jumping-off points - effectively 'sitemaps of mathematics' - to explore mathematics and what parts you may not know yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_structure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_structure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_mathematics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_mathematics They also present 'ways of looking' at mathematics which I find can be eye-opening with any subject. I don't know if you're a lumper or a splitter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumpers_and_splitters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumpers_and_splitters), but I'm a lumper, so it helps to see connections and unities between things deep down. (Anyone who's ever read the annoyingly separate study areas of automata vs state machines, and the replicated abstractions and principles – despite them being literally the fucking same thing – will probably see what I mean.)
