Learn Algebra from START to FINISH

[@CraftyCuriosity]

I am 53 years old and I just found your channel. It has been my life long dream to learn math. I am going to follow your advice. Thank you

[@TheMathSorcerer]

You can do it!

[@anniesizemore3344]

Try math books by Robert Blitzer. His books are easy to understand and very detailed in the explanations. Blitzer wrote a book called Thinking Mathematically which basically is elementary math & pre algebra. Then Introductory & Intermediate Algebra for College Students by Blitzers, and his Precalculus book. Also, I suggest doing problems from Calculus from James Stewart even if you don't fully understand calculus yet. Then there are plenty of other Calculus books to go through once you understand math better. James Stewarts Calculus is kind of a rehearsal for me.

[@guitaristxcore]

Something I did a few years ago when I was just starting out was I picked up some Schaums books on beginner and intermediate algebra and used the YT Channel Professor Leonard as lectures to go with the books I was using.

[@anniesizemore3344]

@@guitaristxcore something else we can do to is get books with math exercises already worked out & explained. I found several on calculus, trigonometry and algebra that promise to have problems similar to test problems with answers already worked out and explained.

[@kjmav10135]

Yay Jackie! Go for it! I started learning math when I was about 53. I was really bad at math when I was a kid, so I got a kids math curriculum and started working through. I’m 63 now, and in 5th grade! I took a year to really nail down my fractions, otherwise I’d be midway through 6th grade. I’ve learned a TON! And math is fun now.

[@red1bk190]

I recommend "Intermediate Algebra" by R. Rusczyk and M. Crawford. It is the final book in a series of algebra books focused on teaching the reader algebraic techniques to solving problems. This book is super useful to read through for anyone getting into mathematics, as it teaches essential problem solving techniques that are not often taught in actual university math courses. Even as a second year in mathematics student i learned so much new math from this book.

[@pamdistasio5207]

63 year old here. I can attest to the Forgotten Algebra book - I'm about half way done with it. I have the Big Fat Geometry Notebook that I'm going to move on to next. Then I have Blitzer's Algebra and Trigonometry do to, and that should bring me up to where I left off in high school. Didn't go to college so from here on everything will be new to me. No books planned out yet, but my next step plans are to then do a Proofs book and then Calculus. My goal is to learn enough to start studying Physics in two years, although I am planning, during my current math studies, to read through the Feynman Lectures because supposedly they were designed for minimal math knowledge. Never took physics in high school and I hope these will give me a good starting general background.

[@nithinkrishnan3101]

I just started with Arithmetics... what a great time to watch your video ❤

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Wonderful!

[@jenshoffmann2210]

To me having a whiteboard at home and doing all my math stuff on that whiteboard makes a huge difference. It's so easy then to step back or sit down somewhere and think about what I've done so far, having everything I've written present in the whole room.

[@Andy-pr5be]

It helps a lot

[@kagbox]

I visited India a few months back, and inspired by your videos I picked up a copy of Bernard/Child. I remember flipping thru the pages of the book some twenty years ago and recall it being far out of my comfort zone

[@firstIndian-ez9tt]

Love from India Bihar ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@kevin_heslip]

Exactly what I needed. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels.

[@numpycpandas]

I actually started reading Algebra and Trig by sullivan as you recommended in previous videos. Looking at this video it's a relief to know that I do not need to read pre-calculus book. I thought that course content in algebra and trig and precalculus is going to be different. But now i am pretty happy that i can move straight on to calculus after i finish the sullivan book. I actually took inspration from you videos and started dong maths. Thank you.

[@Bag_of_wellness]

Hey after a long time I just clicked the right video , I teach on preply I am a scholar but I needed reference to teach my US students . Thank you so much this was exactly what I needed .

[@maptuffs]

i went through the essential pre algebra book by chris mcCullen you recommended in this video and last vids. i must say it has made me much more better at maths, i loved the style of getting a short explanation on what the problems are and an example on how to solve it with a handful of questions to practice. it made it feel like a game, my brain works well in settings like this. I wish i had something like this back in school

[@sciencefic666]

your sound is so calming thank you 🤎

[@daniellindner826]

I remember learning algebra and trig^^ a really good time, I learned so much and it finally got things going for me in math^^

[@alanguages]

Big Fat Notebook Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 have a corresponding workbook recently released. Another positive note is Algebra 2 and it's workbook is currently in production. I think it will be released within the next three years. While Trigonometry/ Pre- Calculus, Calculus, and Physics are being discussed. (Not set yet.)

[@whitb62]

I'm about to take calculus in the fall to finish my BS in biology. I bought the Blitzer College Algebra Essentials recently to help me review. I couldn't be happier with the book. Even though I did very well in college algebra and precal, it has made me understand the math in a much deeper way, not just learning where to plug things in. Thanks for all the videos, recommendations, and enthusiasm about math! It has really helped me developed a deep interest for the subject outside of classes.

[@arnabdas7019]

Its a good book? Do u recommend it?

[@mr.turtlesun9528]

I know you’ve prolly already taken it, but Calculus was beautiful to me. I enjoyed it so much more than Precal. The fact that it deals with rates-of-change is one of my favorite aspects because our entire existence is tied up in change.

[@whitb62]

I completely agree. I just finished it and did very well. It kind of made all of algebra and precalculus make sense in a way. It makes me want to take more math classes in the future which I actually might do. At least finish out the Calculus sequence and maybe a differential equations course.@@mr.turtlesun9528

[@ryanarchuleta6231]

I'm about 200 pages into the "Big Fat Notebook" and it has been a ton of help. I went to college for business several years ago and the highest math I completed was precalculus. I forgot so much of the fundamental math required to ever learn "higher level" math like Calculus and I'd like to go back to basics and work up to maybe finally take Calculus some day. Literally just for my own satisfaction of knowing I am capable.

[@jordancobb7553]

Rooting for you 👍

[@HypatiaK]

One quality I look for in books is a larger typeface. My vision is a bit limited for fine focus & BIG PRINT is deeply appreciated.

[@FlatEarthMath]

Blitzer is such an excellent author. So many modern math textbooks are written by committee, but his books have his fingerprints all over it! 😎

[@KimSmith91111]

Exactly what I needed today. Thank you

[@gurtejsingh1639]

Thank you so much for telling me which books to find, ever since I have had an interest in maths. I couldn’t find any algebra books because the internet kept giving different suggestions, but thank you. I actually found some good suggestions, and I may also be around the valedictorian almost so thank you very much.

[@NoDrizzy630]

I have bought so many books based off your suggestions and love them!

[@SteveRuprecht]

I worked through a 90s edition of Larson College Algebra and that had matrices... And sums, probability, and plenty of geometry applications! Didn't care for Larson's Calculus but the old college algebra was great.

[@sicilianotoronto]

UWaterloo is an awesome math and science uni. I'm taking Math 104 online with them. It's like a repeat and slight continuation of 12U high school calc here. It's for science, business and psychology. There are no trig functions, I think that is covered in the next course called Math 127. In high school in much of Canada there is no pre-calc. You do grade 11 math which covers all the trig. The 12 Calc is next which is needed for uni. I think now there's another 12 math which is called functions and relations that you take with 12 calc, and some universities require both. My high school version was just the older solitary 12U calculus. After Math 104 I'll have my Bachelor of Science done! It's my second degree that I always wanted after my B.A.

[@daarkon]

I have one of those books. Thanks for uploading consistently, it reminds me that I need to get some maths done before I knack off.

[@Mathematica702]

Euler’s Algebra book is a nice curiosity, too. It’s even got some stuff on continued fractions.

[@colleenbullock3690]

I like the idea of working through these textbooks. How do you check answers, though? If you do not have an instructor’s edition, how do you know if you are getting the problems correct? (I know that some of the problems have answers- should you skip the problems you can’t check?)

[@Bassfully]

not to mention maths books tend to explain rules simply and then give you exercises that bear NO RESEMBLANCE whatsoever to the rules you studied

[@mannykhan7752]

Its not that those higher Algebra books are challenging, its just that the word "challenging" is now used to define more elementary books on Algebra thanks to policies like "no child left behind". I'm almost 50 and I can tell you that those higher Algebra books were actually taught in Canadian colleges and universities a long time ago. But ask a kid the definition of a binomial theorem and they'd be lost.

[@eflat6522]

How about that the Stewart, Redlin, and Watson. Precalculus book I am currently self-studying from. I have the 5th Edition. I did not like this book at first, but once I got into a groove with it, I have grown to like it. I have though found a few wrong answers in the answer key. A couple times I found the answer to the odd question to in fact be the answer to the following even question. I still recommend the book.

8:51 How does the subject matter of these more advanced books compare to that of E.J. Barbeau's _Polynomials_ (Springer, 1989, ISBN 978-0-387-40627-5)? That's also a book which is supposed to go beyond the normal high-school level and outside the undergraduate university curriculum. I think there's also a similar, more recent polynomials book from maybe the early '10s but I can't remember its name now.

[@anniesizemore3344]

I'm going to try to find and order the Forgotten Algebra book. I might order the Higher Algebra books. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do as well in the higher algebra books as I do in the Blitzer books or even the Stewart Precalculus book. I'm actually of the opinion people try to do math even if they don't understand it and do badly on the problems. Maybe doing math we're not ready for will somehow make lower math that we already do even more easier to do. Udemy has a lot of math videos. I saw the sorcerer's math courses there and am considering taking a few course on that site. I suggest finding math videos in a series and watching the whole series. You should do with math you're doing now & math you are not really into yet. I'm watching Calculus videos in series even thought I haven't progressed more than 4 pages in the Stewart Calculus book.

[@accentontheoff]

Probably a dumb question, and I can’t remember anyway, but is algebra the only thing we learn in high school. Meaning, will just understanding algebra prepare us for the next level or were there any other topics in school?

[@DigitalMoonlight]

Depending on the particular school you can go up to Calculus 1 and Statistics 1 in high school though Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB), pretty much any North American high school will at a minimum have up to Trigonometry and Algebra (Precalculus) if you take the advanced pathway.

[@accentontheoff]

@@DigitalMoonlight Thanks. Was trying to figure what I need to know before diving into the books mentioned in the video. would the list you mentioned be it.

[@DigitalMoonlight]

@@accentontheoff You should be able to start with the big fat notebook on Pre-Algebra and Algebra mentioned in the video, that covers most of high school math. From there you can move onto Precalculus, the book mentioned in the video by Stewart is great as is Precalculus by Sullivan. This will be the perfect preparation for college/university, particularly for engineering, accounting, comp sci and math majors.

[@accentontheoff]

@@DigitalMoonlight Before the big fat notebook, I will need to do the stuff you mentioned in your previous comment, right? Thanks for your patience.

[@DigitalMoonlight]

@@accentontheoff No, you should be able to jump right into the big fat notebook. The only think you'll need before the big fat notebook is junior high/middle school math. If you need to brush up on Jr. High/ Middle School math the same series has a middle school level book called "Everything You Need to Ace Math in a Big Fat Notebook" There's also Khan Academy as a free tool for learning math up to college calculus.
