Ershtens, there are 613 mitzvos! Tzveitens, there much more than 613 mitzvos. The monei hamitzvos (rishonim who counted the mitzvos) have introductions to their seforim where they say they only count certain mitzvos that fit into certain categories. The Rambam does not count Zecher Yetzias Mitzrayim, and hundreds of other mitzvos. Look there. Not because they’re not mitzvos, but because the Gemoras in Makkos that said there are 613 mitzvos was only counting certain ones. Second of all, the chiyuv to be talmid chochom could be included in the chiyuv of Talmud Torah.
