I'm not sure if anybody can answer that. I don't have a lot of
experience with physics ideas, and I'm studying mostly algebra and
geometry, outside of an institution. Mathematical ideas take awhile
to develop, and you may never get anywhere with a particular line of
questioning. My personal opinion is that math and physics ideas are
not stressed enough in school, and my opinion of school is that they
are not there to produce material and textbooks and other things such
as videos to make sure that students have a chance to learn the stuff
(I'm completely dismissing the notion that teachers are there to
educate students, because they're not qualified and they are not there
to provide an environment for students to learn on their own and in
correspondence with other people). Of course, there is nothing to
stop somebody from learning math or whatever once they leave school,
but it's difficult to get, like you say, material that is available in
libraries if you are only looking at the internet, and still you have
to search for the internet. My best bet for you is to simply study
some of the math and try to relate them to physics problems if that's
your interest, and hopefully you'll find some way along the internet
or wherever. Good luck.
