I'm studying math at Cambridge University right now, and a lot of resources for our courses are available for free online. I do think that learning on your own is just not the same as learning for a degree, but if you have the motivation then you may find it useful to follow along with parts of our course.

Dexter Chua was a Cambridge math student who started in 2014, TeXed all his notes and shared them on his website [0]. More people have followed in his footsteps, and you can find most of them by googling `Cambridge math notes site:srcf.net`. Many professors also put notes up on their websites, which can also be found by googling `Cambridge math notes`. I find that for many courses the notes are just as good as lectures, even notes written by students, and sometimes they're even better. They're certainly a lot faster.

You'll probably want to start with our first year courses, which are designed to take bright highschoolers and teach them how to think like mathematicians. If you're interested in the math of machine learning, you'll probably want to look at our courses on linear algebra, probability, optimization, and statistics.
