First time on this board ... I'm actually quite embarrassed to be open about this, and yeah, I am practically inviting ridicule, I suppose.

I grew up in a very strict Kurdish household, and after the eighth grade, my Mother took me to Turkey for a while until I returned to the US at seventeen. I basically was an eighth grade drop out for that reason...

My parents didn't want me going to school and wanted me to focus on finding a husband. I now am about to turn 21, and feel I am stuck at a high school level of math. It's embarrassing, considering my Father is an engineer, but he never wanted to assist or help me, only my brothers.

I'm finally going to college (lol, community college for now... :( ) and I am so interested in math, a bit intimidated by it, and mostly ashamed of the level I am at.

Do any of you know of any good books or websites to recommend for a girl like me? I need help in draining the retardation out of my brain, and I'm willing to dedicate all of the free time I have to learning.

You're going to feel very discouraged when you go into college and have to be in the "low level" courses. But please don't. If you dedicate some real time and effort into it you can improve. Probably not to sky rocketing levels, but definitely the average.

websites are only accessories, not real learning resources

go to the library, pick up a few books on arithmetic/algebra, take your time with it, be sure to make an infiniton of exercises (this is where the internet comes in)

don't be ashamed, you're willing to learn/improve yourself and that alone makes you better than 95% of the population

I've been saving up from my jobs specifically for this reason. I suppose I can dig through whatever books are best rated? I'm very willing to invest in whatever is out there.

And thank you very much! This is always a depressing subject for me, but I'm willing to do as much as it takes to at least not be at such a low level.

>>1437649

Thank you very much!!

http://www.maths.cam.ac.uk/undergrad/admissions/readinglist.pdf

that's quite a good general reading list
you won't really learn too much from there (how to solve stuff), but it will give you a good understanding of maths
then, just go get some textbooks... in a few months you'll be studying differential geometry if you really put yourself into it

OP here, I can somewhat attest to this. I cannot speak for all cultures that the US considers the Middle East or Arabic, but many Muslim influenced societies do not see homosexual acts as homosexuality ... as long as you adhere to the goal of having children and furthering the family name.

This applies only to men, though.

>>1437680

Thank you for being so helpful! I'm actually very thrilled to start this, I've been putting it off for about a year now because of fear.

I admit I was a bit surprised at certain threads here, but I guess I shouldn't be. It's pretty much ubiquitous on 4chan in general for certain attitudes to be prevalent on a few subjects, but /sci/ has been the least traumatizing thus far.

>>1437724

Not that I don't think I'm good looking or anything, but if I end up posting pictures it would derail the thread, and I would just get called an attention whore or something. I'd rather keep it on the subject of math, I'm sorry.

We never derail, /sci/ is the most serious board on 4chan. We hate trolls here, and think through what we say meticulously, that's why this board is troll-free, which is very rare. So I do think you can post a picture of yourself, we won't derail.
