I'm not sure learning the things on that page – Peano axioms, basic real analysis, etc. – really helps with deploying AI. I know plenty of talented graduate students with papers at NeurIPS, ICML, and another top conferences who don't know a lick of set theory, so certainly it's not necessary, even for highly academic work.

Based on my experience and what we know about the psychology of learning, I'd recommend finding a motivating ML project or application (e.g. point the phone at a sudoku and it overlays the solution), and then working backwards to figure out what you need to know to implement it. Probably it will not be the Peano axioms.
