Can anyone recommend path or paths for "where do I go from here" as self-directed curriculum for someone with basic knowledge of single-variable calculus, and strong motivation?  (For what it's worth, my profession requires working with numeric data all the time, but the level of mathematics involved basically elementary algebra).


Do you want to explore different branches on maths of undergrad level,
or you have something more specific in mind? Do you feel you enjoy
doing maths in general and want to learn more?

What do you mean by 'basic knowledge of calculus'? Did you take one or
two courses of single-variable calculus? (Normally the second covers
covers things like improper integrals, some advanced techniques of
integration, a bit of Taylor Series and Taylor Polynomial and may be
kind of a gentle introduction to diff equations.)
