01
Pick an anchor question
A question such as “How can I explain this simulation?” can connect mathematics, implementation, and visual communication. The question should be specific enough to guide selection.
02
Give each resource a job
Choose one introduction, one practical application, and a deeper reference only if each is needed. These are roles you assign after inspecting the scope, not qualities guaranteed by a title.
03
Write the transition
For each pair of resources, explain why you would move from one to the next. If the transition is unclear, you may have collected interesting books rather than built a route.
04
Keep the route editable
After the first resource, review the question and the remaining gaps. A useful list changes in response to learning. Leave space for fewer books and more practice.
