As a university professor, given the availability of all these resources, I'm not sure why you'd want to take advantage of them and take a university course if you're not interested in the credentialling.
Fair enough. FWIW, my post was written from the perspective of being targeted at someone who has already chosen to take a university class, for whatever reason. But I agree with your point, and that approach is, in fact, my own. I mean, yes, I took some university maths classes in the past. But now as I want to learn new maths or re-learn maths I've forgotten, I prefer to just study on my own using mostly the exact resources I called out above. I wouldn't go pay to take a university class at this point in my life.
