Math improvement?
I wanna become very good and advanced in mathematics but I don't know how to approach my mathematical study:

I am first trying to turn learn everything in calculus, then turn to geometry,then mathematical proofs and theories, and then mechanics and other physical application science and wave propagation,ect.

I have a feeling this might be the wrong procedure, and that I should do geometry first, and then calculus, and ect., what do you suggest

The order doesn't really matter. What matters much more is truly understanding what's going on. It's not about memorizing formulas or algorithms: You can always look them up. It's about the joy in the pursuit.

If you are in high school, take all the math classes that are available. Join the math competition team. Read the biographies of great mathematicians. Find a mentor...a math teacher or science teacher who will help you find opportunities to meet others interested in math. There are many books of mathematical recreations (Martin Gardner has written some good ones) to help you become a flexible thinker. Talk to math professors at a local university about opportunities for research. There are open questions in some fields (Graph theory, topology...) that may be approachable for advanced high school students or undergrads.

Good luck and have fun.

You start with linear equations. Then go for Geometry. Geometry will give you command over equations.. Calculus is full of equations and solving them.. So, you will find it much easier then.

Mathematical proofs and theories can be done later.

Once you are done.. mechanics and applicational physics will be a piece of cake.

You are doing everything right.. except put Geometry first before calculus.

TO HAVE A COMMAND ON MATHS U MUST KEEP IN MIND

NO FORMULE NO MATHS

SO BYHEART ALL FORMULAE AND PRACTICE ON DIFFERENT KIND OF PROBLEMS ASKED IN EXAMS
