Lang Basic Mathematics is so great. Even though it starts from literally zero (like how numbers work etc) it treats you like a mathematician, getting you to prove things and there are so many practise problems to work on. I have been working through it systematically as a supplement to everything else I'm doing. It's basically "Highschool maths done hardcore-style".

I have recently decided to study math as a hobby after years of falsely believing I was bad at month. While searching Amazon, I found The Princeton Companion to Mathematics. That book opened my mind too all of the richness and vibrance of math. I also found this channel. All of this makes me excited to travel on this journey into mathematics

I was basically a high school drop out. My parents neve helped me with any homework. I gave up on learning in the 100th grade. I was actually on my way to do college level classes also. Math was always interesting but I could never understand the concepts. I never used math during most of my adult life and definitely my math skills atrophied. Nearing my 50’s I have a renewed interest in math. I am going to take the time to reinvestigate math. Going to take your math book recommendations and get back into math. Thank you so much!

As someone who studied math, and also just a total math book fanatic, man I love this niche content. Thomas’ Calc was the first calc book I ever got, and I will always have a lot of love for it… that said, I do think Stewart’s Calculus book is a more complete analysis of the key differential and integral calculus in both single and multi variables… despite that for me the gold standard of Calculus books is the Kline “Calculus: an intuitive and practical approach.” The way we teach math in the U.S. Makes calculus this big hairy beast, so I’m always looking for new ways to help teach it with cool books like these! :-)

I won’t actually do t most of the extra topics until 2 years for A-levels

Hey I’m 15 years old and in 10th grade too. Since it seems that you already know some math, I would recommend you to complete the introductory chapter or the appendix of a calculus book, which is what I’m doing. Pretty much all introductory calculus books have them. The subjects there are very condensed and faster-paced than in the pre-calculus books shown. You’ll be able to start calculus and hence more advance mathematics faster.

A lot of math is about learning logic and how to reason. Having some good exposure to that could help with the more rigorous parts of calculus, depending on your textbook (some are harder than others, Spivak comes to mind). But just keeping in practice with algebra and trigonometry, plus basic geometry, will go far to prepare you for the mechanics of it all. That you have access to videos from a variety of lecturers is an incredible resource we didn’t have 25 years ago. Remember this when you struggle with something.

Thank you for the work you put in Math Sorcerer. Over the past year I have self taught myself PreCalc, Calc 1 & 2, and I am reading Vellemans book on proofs at the moment. I am 24 years old, and I am truly craving to finally go back to school, and I want to major in Mathematics. For a while I was plagued with fear that I’m going going to be too old, and too busy with life to be able to do it. After finding out that you were the same age when you started studying, you have inspired me that I can do the same.

I still have a 4th edition of Precalculus by J. Stewart, L. Redlin and S. Watson that I've never given away and still return to. I had also an old copy of Thomas' Calculus that I gave away to then buy the 13th Global Edition (SI units based). Yes, Thomas' it's pretty good and one heck of a big tome! Didn't know about Sullivan's Precalculus.

@firstdonuts
@firstdonuts 10 ай бұрын
Use both. I had a friend who spent all their free time in high-school maxing out the Khan Academy math courses, and they aced every test all the way through Calc 1. I'm just getting back into math, and the fact that every question on Khan Academy allows you to look at hints that show the entire process if you get stuck, is really nice. With that being said, every unit only has so many questions and can be a bit limited if you really want to hammer home on a specific skill. So supplementing it with math books that give you more kinds of questions on the same subject, can really be beneficial. Ultimately, I would just start with Khan Academy to make sure your going to be consistent with your studies, then buy books overtime for the specific math skills you think your weak in. I wouldnt buy a bunch of books in bulk though. One here and there for what your studying at that moment, and make sure to finish it, front to back. If you master Khan Academy and a handful of books you'll be extra solid.
