What set of textbooks could I (or, to simplify the question, a past version of you with only HS-level math knowledge) read to be able to understand the meaning of these?
If it’s just questions about the notation, please also feel free to ask here whatever is unclear, I’m happy to clarify (I understand that I kept the wording of the questions quite brief).

Not sure these are the best textbooks, but you can try:
“Naive Set Theory” by Halmos
“Probability Theory” by Jaynes
“Introduction to the Theory of Computation” by Sipser
I’m currently working through Naive Set Theory (alongside another text). I’ll take this as a recommendation to work through the other textbooks later.
My maths level is insufficient for the course I’d guess.
I would appreciate it if videos of the meetings could be recorded. Or maybe I should just stick around and hope this will be run again next year.
