Searching for stuff I've used, this document is also quite light on combinatorics, complexity theory, and order theory (and of stuff I haven't used much, I don't see anything on category theory or topology). I don't think 330 pages is nearly enough to be truly all-in-one.


Agreed. This document is reasonably broad but it's missing quite a lot of undergrad mathematics, let alone graduate math.

If you literally wrote down sequences of definition, theorem, proof, definition, theorem, proof, ... with no exposition or exercises whatsoever, I think you might be able to include most undergraduate math in about 1000 pages. That would include calculus, real analysis, complex analysis, linear algebra, abstract algebra, discrete math. Maybe elementary number theory, topology and probability theory as well. That would be...horrible to learn from, frankly. Imagine a ten volume set of Baby Rudins, with no exercises.

If you really doubled down on the cheat sheet angle and didn't include any proofs - just the theorems, identities and inequalities - I think you could get through all undergrad math in a few hundred pages. But you wouldn't have any of the peripheral content the author included, like physics/economics.


'Riley, Hobson and Bence' was a standard reference I used throughout my undergrad and graduate studies. Sure enough, it's about 1200 pages.
