Well I plan to study calculus on my own over the summer. I’ve found the academic class system isn’t a good fit. A recent pit thread is testament to this. What did help me greatly with trig recently was giving up on the academic book as directed by the class, and supplementing it with three other books, and wikipedia of all things.

So what I plan to do this summer is work ahead on figuring out calculus, finding the intuitive explanations and then expanding them into the rigorous explanations, and applications. If calculus and vectors is the gold standard, than I’ll see how close I can get.

Thanks!

If you want to get up to fully understanding the mathematics behind GR, you’ll need, in addition to multivariable calculus: differential equations (including partial differential equations), matrix algebra (or, even better, linear algebra), and tensor calculus. For extra credit, study differential geometry.

Sure, but you’ll get all the tensor calculus you need in the process of studying GR itself. Tensors are easy, once you have those other maths under your belt. Though I suppose you could argue that matrices are just a special case of tensors.
