Is it reasonable to learn this on my own using textbooks or is it absolutely over if I'm studying engineering and I will be forever unable to access the secret knowledge of math graduates?

It would be purely out of personal curiosity of course.

It's probably over for anyone, even a von Neumann brain, to learn the entire set of topics. If you're smart enough to get into a good engineering program, you can of course apply yourself to study any of these topics.



The only reason people call engfags retards when it comes to math, is that you're only focussing on a narrow part of applied mathematics, that which is directly useful to you in your practical work.

Oh I don't mean learning everything on that shit, I don't plan to overtake the demiurge, I was just interested in the more theoretical side of math and physics, stuff that goes beyond what I learn in my calculus class.

All you need is interest, and if the thought of such math even appeals to you, you're bright enough. It's really just a question of what interests you, but studying real analysis (you might like Zorich given your background) and Algebra (Artin or Vinberg are good choices) would be a good foundation. It's probably going to be number theory that would be most foreign to you, and less useful to complement your engineering work.

>complex analysis and algebraic topology below calculus of variations

No.

Yeah it's possible. If anything studying the math more in depth makes the engineering much easier, because then you understand how the equations are derived

Anything lower than arithmetic is literally /x/-tier

based

Linear algebra is the tip and the bottom of the iceberg

This almost makes sense to me but there are a lot of choices that make me scratch my head. Why is control Theory so far from the Laplace Transform? Why are Tensors so far from Differential Geometry?

very disappointing, but true

i was literally taught that in the first year of high school
