Nah, just study linear algebra (Shilov or Hoffman & Kunze) and baby Rudin. Then read the most famous books in geometry, analysis, and algebra (do proofs + get a mentor). All these roadmap things are meaningless. It’s like “how to join the NBA.” Lift weight, condition, and practice fundamentals. Nothing else matters.
The books are good, but way too many and wildly varying in difficulty. No one can read all that in 2 years starting without knowledge of linear algebra. just worry about the fundamentals first and then pick a couple good books in areas you’re interested in. The main thing is deep understanding, not superficial breadth.
