This comes up again and again, and I think absolutely there is space in the world for a site that takes people through some of the basics,and then iteratively deepens. I'd be happy to provide supplementary/complementary material where appropriate.

Part of the problem is that people don't know what they want. Another part of the problem is that people ask about really advanced things that they are not ready for, and where they don't have time to dedicate to learning the basics.

So you have a challenge with what to include, how to arrange it, how to get people hooked,and how to get them to put in the sustained effort needed to gain a genuine understanding, rather than a superficial "I know what's going on."

For your own interest ... what would you start with?

People seem to like the idea of studying (or more accurately, to have studied) Linear Algebra, and perhaps Graph Theory.

I wonder what else ...
