Find the right starting point.

Answer a short set of questions across the math and ML theory used throughout TheoremPath. You will get a suggested level, a starting path, and a focused list of topics to review.

Before you begin

Use the skip

If you do not know, skip instead of guessing. That gives a cleaner signal and keeps the run useful.

After you finish

Get next steps

The result points to a starting path and a short list of topics worth reviewing first.

Scope

What this checks

Foundations

Linear algebra, calculus, probability vocabulary, and notation.

Probability & statistics

Concentration, estimation, likelihood, Fisher information, and asymptotics.

Optimization

Gradient descent, stochastic optimization, Adam, warmup, and proximal thinking.

Learning theory

Generalization, ERM, VC dimension, PAC, Rademacher complexity, and bias variance.

Modern ML

Deep networks, attention, transformers, RL, and representation learning.

Transfer

One harder cross-topic item that checks whether ideas move between areas.

Or pick a focused set

Subject-specific 10-question diagnostics

Each set is a curated, audit-graph-tracked diagnostic. Picking one runs only its 10 questions and produces a focused review path for that subject.

Sets are versioned and tracked at /audit. Each set is a curated 10-question diagnostic with a learner outcome, target review pages, and a deterministic question order; misses become review targets on the result page.

Diagnostic track

Start broad, or focus the check.

Full Placement is the default. Use a focused check when you already know you want math foundations or ML/RL readiness.

Advanced focused checks

Optional narrower runs for people who already know what they want to stress-test. These are not the best first click for most learners.

Optional self-check

Leave blank if you want the neutral ramp. Pick only the areas where you have a strong signal.

Linear algebra & calculus

Vectors, matrices, derivatives, notation.

Probability & statistics

Distributions, estimators, likelihood, concentration.

Optimization

Gradients, convexity, SGD, Adam, proximal ideas.

Learning theory

ERM, VC, PAC, Rademacher, generalization.

Modern ML / RL

Deep nets, attention, transformers, value functions.

Proof and transfer

Moving ideas across topics and checking assumptions.

Browser-only run

This diagnostic will save for this browser, but it will not create account-level learning events. Sign in first if you want the run to count toward your profile.
