I know this is not what you're asking for, but I'd recommend stopping at the end of the sophomore level classes in the open courseware material.

I finished an undergrad degree in math from a school that had a large PHD program, and once I got to the junior level it was a lot of proving obscure facts about complicated objects (say, Lie Algebras) that have zero applications outside of very speculative theoretical physics. Proving theorems was fun sometimes, so if you're interested in math as entertainment, it's worth trying the more advanced material.
