I heard from another user that you run an online math community on discord. As I'm self-studying math right now, I would be very interested in joining. Would you be so kind as to send me an invite?

Anyhow, thanks for your guides. They are very helpful.

Someone should write an insight for probability and statistics too. I am not sure if it is covered in any of the above areas. I have begun the proof book for intro to analysis.
