#33What is your specific goal? What are you trying to achieve with math? I would start there first. If your goal is to get a math major level of understanding of math, then I would look at what the standard curriculum is in universities.

Discrete math is the branch that is most likely to make you a better programmer. Not Kahn academy, etc.

That in itself is quite an interesting question - there are bits of (quite simple) maths that are useful in general programming (logic etc.), maths that can be used in particular domain areas (simulation, crypto etc.), maths that models computation itself and can underlie the design of languages (Turing Machines, Lambda Calculus etc.)...
