  …form a semigroup under a certain operation: we'll just check it for associativity. To get a hang of this stuff I recommend the following books: Book of Proof by Richard Hammack (tools of the trade) Linear Algebra by Kuldeep Singh (rigorous tutorial: combines the rigor of a textbook and the ease of use of tutorial) Abstract Algebra by the Dos Reis (rigorous tutorial) Real Analysis by Lara Alcock (this books makes…

  …this book you'll stop fearing the word "proof" and start demanding it wherever you go. Link: https://www.people.vcu.edu/~rhammack/BookOfProof/ 2. The book by Don Shimamoto is super trivial if you know linear algebra. The best books in the genre (imo) are (a) Linear Algebra: Step by Step by Kuldeep Singh whose secret is that he uses all the exercises from other LA books as his 100% worked out examples (which seems…

  …probability theory are very helpful. This free book [1] gives a sampling of such topics. As preparation, one can start by looking at pre-real-analysis books like the ones by Lara Alcock and Jay Cummings, Linear Algebra by Kuldeep Singh and Probability Theory by Dimitri Bertsekas/Tsitsiklis. These books are very easy to read. There are also introductory books that give a bare-bones sampling of most undergrad math subjects…

  …applied and engineering Maths book perhaps you can look into both textbooks by Prof. Kuldeep Singh and they uses Matlab but Octave should be fine [1]. a) Engineering Mathematics Through Applications b) Linear Algebra 2) For signal processing especially for communication I'd highly recommend "Digital Signal Processing in Modern Communication Systems" by Andreas Schwarzinger. It introduces the modern communication…

  …math analysis is "Principles of Mathematical Analysis" by Rudin. But one will have a real tough time with it even after studying the aforementioned books. But there are fantastic preparatory books like "Linear Algebra: Step by Step" by Kuldeep Singh which one needs because Rudin considers Euclidean Spaces proper, not just the reals. Other helpful books include "Yet Another Introduction to Analysis" by Bryant, "How…

  Every undergrad level math subject (real analysis, linear algebra, topology etc) has a few core theorems around which everything revolves. Unfortunately, math textbook writers bow to the tradtition of writing bloated books where the core ideas get lost in the sea of…

  …it does in other majors (except mathematics proper). List of subjects for math majors vary from place to place, but you'll have much easier time down the road if you master the (rigorous) rudiments of linear algebra (vector spaces), group theory, number theory and real analysis. Of course, knowing more math (say topology, complex analysis, category theory, combinatorics etc) is always good. Before you get started…
