New Chart Thread.

Looking for science/math books to go from high school level to advanced calculus

Thinking about creating a chess chart but not sure if there is an interest.

Still looking for a "Start With the Greeks" style chart like in the OP buy for Eastern works. The Chinese chart in the sticky is just a shotgun style approach, looking for a flowchart to ease my way into it.

So basically I'd begin with Axler's PreCalculus, since Axler is a boss and all solutions are fully worked out (not just numerically provided and magically arrived at). Optional: Courant's What is Mathenatic's.

If Axler is a bit uncomfortable, review using the conviently brief Better Explained Math and Calc books, and utilize resources like Khan, PatrickJMT, etc.

>Calc
If you're feeling ballsy, jump right into Spivak. It's a different game than the computational nature of math than you're likely used to, so to combat this use Book of Proof and/or How to Prove It.

If Spivak is a bit scary, open up a calc book (I used Stewart's Calculus: Concepts and Context) and work through it. If you get stuck, utilize sources like Khan, PatrickJMT, 3B1B and my personal favorite, Professor Leonard (his lectures align nicely with Stewart's book). Leonard actually teaches from Thomas' 13th edition, and that's a classic so it's s great option, as is Lang's Calculus (with his accompanying videos "Highlights of Calvulus").

After that, read Spivak and use this
http://alpha.math.uga.edu/~pete/MATH2400F11.html


Next, open up Apostol and work through both volumes, and use these
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-014-calculus-with-theory-fall-2010/
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-024-multivariable-calculus-with-theory-spring-2011/index.html

Congrats, now you know calc better than most non-math majors. Now you can look in the directions of combinatorics and discrete math in general, linear algebra, analysis and more.

I'll include more auxiliary material and resources in the real chart, but at least post the chess list pls


Congrats you now have a better understanding of

>Humble Beginnings
Only refer to this section when you're stumped by the section below. The book I'd recommend is Axler's Precalculus, as it comes with a detailed solutions manual. Get used to using Khan Academy and PatrickJMT for trivial little things, and find a good algebraic helper for when you get stuck, and make sure to review that property then and there. Paul's Online Math Note's are also very handy, I'd actually advise reviewing all of those first before jumping into Spivak and perhaps supplementing them the "Highlights of Calculus" video series. In a similar manner, the Better Explained Math and Calculus books are handy for their brevity. If you want more resources, here's a nice list: https://www.maths.cam.ac.uk/sites/www.maths.cam.ac.uk/files/pre2014/undergrad/admissions/readinglist.pdf

>Calculus
Calculus, Spivak. Make sure to snag the solutions manual too. If too hard, try harder. If still too hard, work through a relevant chapter with Stewart's Early Transcendental (it also has an answer book) and use Professor Leonard as your lecturer, and also make use of 3 Blue 1 Brown's series on the subject. MIT has plenty of OCW on this topic, as do many other uni's and countless MOOCs. Most don't use Spivak though, so here's some notes from a class that does:
>http://alpha.math.uga.edu/~pete/MATH2400F11.html
>http://math.uga.edu/~pete/2400full.pdf

And a good pure math resource in general:
>http://math.cmu.edu/~jmackey/151_128/infdes.pdf

This is a good follow up to Spivak (Spivak's is only single variable, so we need to cover multi-variable).
>http://www.math.harvard.edu/~shlomo/docs/Advanced_Calculus.pdf
Another option is volume 2 of Apostol

Alternatively, or additionally, to Spivakstart with Apostol, volume 1:
>https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-014-calculus-with-theory-fall-2010/

And progress to volume 2:
>https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-024-multivariable-calculus-with-theory-spring-2011/index.htm

If the proofs are fucking you up, try looking at Book of Proof or How to Prove It, and perhaps some strategy books like How to Solve It, The Art and Craft of Problem Solving, How to Think Like a Mathematician, Solving Mathematical Problems, etc..


If you only want to know Calculus it's pretty straightforward

And of course, there's a wealth of resources that's been excluded to keep things brief (such as resources on how to learn and study effectively, which quickly becomes incredibly important as things become abstracted away and concepts need to become intuitive or they are likely to be misunderstood or forgotten altogether).

this anon >>10756712 is correct.

Reading and doing exercises is all you really need, but having help via stack exchange, freenode irc, /sci/ etc are helpful when you get stuck and are running thin on patience.

Lectures, MOOCS and in person tutors (via professor or not) are overrated imho.
