The is The Institute for Enquiring Minds library of mathematics and physics notes. It is an ongoing project with a reasonably complete set of notes covering linear algebra already up and notes covering differential geometry (incorporating vector calculus), special relativity and quantum mechanics appearing regularly. Looking further ahead we should have notes covering Lie theory, general relativity and quantum field theory before too long…
