…text will do such as Stewart's Early Transcendentals book. You do enough of those 8,000+ exercises and your highschool gaps will fill themselves. My favorite beginner math books are Thomas VanDrunen's Discrete Mathematics and Functional Programming because it's entirely done in SML, and Apostol's Calculus because you end up doing so many exercises you absolutely will never make a silly algebra mistake in a proof or forget a trig identity ever again.…
on “Elementary Algebra (1971)” ↗There is a text book _Discrete Mathematics and Functional Programming_ (VanDrunen) [1] which can be bought off Amazon for $60 new. (I bought a used copy when they were cheap, for <$30.) Its a great place to start. There is an older version of the manuscript available if…
