Core material is standardized all the way up to multivariable calculus. You do not need a teacher until you hit mathematical logic, time series, advanced geometry, Bayesian inference, etc. And even at that point, a teacher helps, but if you spend time reading the textbook, you can learn it all easily.
"Learning styles" is subject to question. The brain is not wired so that it can only learn from one style. Repetition will always work. I guarantee if you sit there and read the book for 8 hours a day, you'll understand everything perfectly. Now, the problem is the 8 hour part.
Plus, it's not like they're asking you to solve a Millennium Prize problem...
