I've run into the same problem that you have, in the context of Wikipedia articles on physics.

Fundamentally, Wikipedia is very good at helping you move from step n to step n+1, but it's a pretty poor textbook (which is to say, it's not great at moving you from step 3 to step 303).

I'd say that you want to reframe your question as "what textbook should I get?"




The answer to that is "What is Mathematics?" by Courant and Robbins.
