So if I finish basic mathematics... Anonymous Mon Jul 6 12:49:16 2020 No.11873775 [Reply] [Original]

Will I be able from there to read things from the entry to university level engineering, physics and maths books ?

He doesn't really address calculus in this book.

>>11874257
These charts are for dawdling idiots and CS majors. He doesn't need to do most of this shit. One book on Calc with proofs is enough to get started. There are only two good analysis textbooks. From there you have to decide if you care about advanced mathematics.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 03:27:44 2020 No.11876444 >>11876442 No. You should just read Spivak, it will be like pulling teeth but it is the superior way.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 03:30:34 2020 No.11876450 >>11876444 But the sci wiki recommends Apostol over Spivak.

>>11874268
Learning general abstract algebra before you know linear algebra is definitely a bad idea
The concepts of homomorphisms, quotients, etc are quite hard to understand at first, but in vector spaces it's a lot easier and things are much better visualised

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 03:39:33 2020 No.11876466 >>11876441 In other words, that list is useful for CS majors who want to increase their math skills because it focuses on the the math most required in CS. )

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 03:49:10 2020 No.11876489 >>11876450 Apostol is not good for a beginner Unless you have a massive passion for learning calculus and enough patience to follow some real analysis

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 03:54:16 2020 No.11876499 >>11876489 I understand. I am just a CS undergrad looking to refresh my calculus. Spivak seems to be better that way, or do you have another recommendation for my case?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 03:59:04 2020 No.11876513 >>11876499 No, honestly Spivak is the ideal choice I just love how "straight to the point" this book is

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 07:33:51 2020 No.11876832 I'm currently doing James Stewart precalculus. Is it good enough for studying high school math, i'm trying to learn back to have a better understanding on it. Also im trying the Dennis Velleman's proof book, any opinion on this book too?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 13:10:40 2020 No.11877798 >>11874899 I've seen different people saying Practical Electronics has potentially life threatening mistakes in more than one place, why don't the idiots behind these charts go through the work of at least reading a couple reviews?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 7 13:12:01 2020 No.11877802 >>11876832 Stewart can be useful because of its many exercises, but whether there's a better choice or not depends on your goals, time availability and so forth. I'd say Stewart is the safest choice. Daniel Velleman's book is a good one.
