what's a good book for a relative normie to understand things, in a layman's way, like theoretical math?

I like learning layman's theoretical physics, and I was curious about math

The /sci/ site books page has quite a few choices, and links to where you can get them if interested. It also depends on what you are curious about. The page is broken up by topic so take your pick, not sure how up to date it is though. https://sites.google.com/site/scienceandmathguide/general/books

Why not just do university courses? Basically every part of STEM education that you could possibly need is online at this point. Just do the lectures like you were a student and try to get the suggested books.

I don't know why people always want to go the hard route instead of learning this stuff like everyone else.

"Layman's physics" is physics incredibly dumbed down because there's little to no mathematics. How do you want to learn "layman's maths", without the mathematics there too?

Basically fuck off and fuck yourself, go learn science properly.

Fuck you, pedagogy a shit

It's pedagogy you moron, it's actually learning the subjects correctly. Do you actually know the formalism behind the Standard Model, or can you just spout QUARKS BOSONS GAUGE SYMMETRY like some keyword memorizing retard?

Does Cosmos have a lot of math in it, and any physics besides "astronomy" tho?
