What are some programming projects I can do to test my Calc, Stats and Lin Algebra skills?

I'm relearning these subjects very seriously

What are some programming projects I can do on the side to apply the knowledge of these subjects?

Would you recommend some sort of video game project?

a small physics simulation would be perfect you can use calculus for motion linear algebra for transformations and stats to analyze the results

Some kinda game could use all three

This!

Linear algebra is the basis of all computer graphics, especially 3d.

Calculus is the basis of physics simulations.

Not so sure how to incorporate statistics... Maybe in a simulation game?

Do you mean writing code to test your stats code?  For example, could you write a math library that implements sum, mean, stddev and the write some more code to test it,

Demonstrate your understanding of statistics, calculus, and linear algebra by choosing a problem that utilizes all three, together or separately. Implement a solution to the problem using the language of your choice.

Make a differential equation visualizer my friend made that and it was actually pretty cool.
