Good books to brush up on math?

College Life

<p>Anyone has any recommendations for good books to brush up on math? I want to get my basics down and revise for placement tests. Also, I'm an international student who took the A-levels so I need a pretty complete guide to what is to be learned for math because of different syllabuses etc. I need to make sure I'm supposed to know what I should before college.</p>

<p>Try math books…they work wonders lol. That is really all I can think to use.</p>

<p>Starting from and going to? Everything between high-school geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus I/II?</p>

<p>Yeah, you need to be more specific. But googling: “pdf: [enter math level title here] textbook” brings up some pretty decent books.</p>

<p>I’m currently teaching myself Multivar Calc with this book I found on google (<a href=“http://www.mecmath.net/calc3book.pdf[/url]”>http://www.mecmath.net/calc3book.pdf&lt;/a&gt;) and the UCBerk lecture series.</p>

<p>Stratusfaction, is UCBerk lecture series on youtube?</p>

<p>I’m teaching myself Multivar using MIT lecture series</p>

<p>^Yup dude. Just youtube “Multivariable Calculus UCBerkeley” and a playlist should come up. I think MIT is awesome, but just wanted a change of scenery since I (partially) taught myself some differential calc from there. But I’ll shall be heading back when it’s time to teach myself Diffy Eqns.</p>

<p>It’s amazing to know all the ways to teach yourself now-a-days without having an actual professor holding your hand.</p>

<p>Maybe this will help:

<p>It really is… It kind of makes me feel bad for being such a slacker, with everything out there on Youtube and the internet, there’s no excuse for me not to push myself to learn</p>
