Re: Sad

Like you I have the wish to learn (mathematics or any other subject) – but unlike you I will always seek to learn everything by myself, at my own pace, in my own way, when I can. Going to school or university is great (I’ve been there) – but it would mean that I might not be able to learn at my own pace, and that I would have to submit to external timetables and pressures and what not.

For me, the fastest progress up the learning curve is by teaching myself, not by being taught by others.

Where were you before San Francisco? Are you from another country and English is not your first language?

I think they only allow people with basic maths, english and science degrees into Universety. Just study loads and you could go to Universety next year.

here here, JaneFairfax! I learned so much quicker before I got into college.

The only advantage is you get official credentials. But if you're just doing it out of interest, then self study is the way to go!

I like self study to.  + you can't get in trouble for saying you hate the teacher.
