I completed Chris McMullen's Essential Pre Algebra and got about 80 % correct. That was about a year ago and I do a lot better today. My main problem is not paying attention to what I'm doing such as signs. Or I'll make a mistake in long division because I'm just not paying attention. I highly recommend his books. I've been doing 4 hours of math a day. I break it up into hour long segments. I also recommend watching math videos in a series while doing the books.

Hey, im binge watching all of your videos as of late becasue im getting really into mathematics and im liking it a lot so far, given that in the past i absolutely despised it lol. Keep doing what you are doing, because you are extremely inspiring for people like me!

When we are young our relationships and the influence of our peers is huge, more important than our teachers realize or acknowledge. Spending time with friends and sharing a hobby or pastime is more important at that time. So the story of playing basketball and not completing high school makes sense. Studying when you are ready almost makes sense. But the fact that it turned out right in the end, is inspiring.

Workbooks are really essential for self-study in my opinion. Having not just the answers, but the working for all the answers really helps when you don't have access to an instructor. FWIW when you get to the algebra level, the workbooks for the Dummies Algebra I and II are really good.

[svt]

Both are good books, thank you for recommending! I own both and have them in my queue, but right now I am working through, " Math Refresher for Adults, the Perfect Solution" by Richard W. Fisher. Similar in format, it is a workbook that starts at a very basic level and progresses to more robust material. I like to preserve the book so I re-write the problems in a separate notebook- that way if I get a problem wrong I can re-do the problem "fresh", without the distraction of my previous failed attempt.
Thank you, Math Sorcerer for sharing your knowledge, expertise, and most importantly, your encouragement! I only advanced to Algebra 2/Trig when I was in high school back in the 1980's, and Logic and Probability in my first attempt at college. I have dedicated myself to self-teaching math and my goal is to get through Calculus. After that, I hope to investigate number theory.

As a math major, this video was very useful😁👍

[Amor_fati.Memento_Mori]

Now make one for the hopeless beginners.

There is perhaps one "ancient" computer science book that I would really recommend, and if you own it I'd like to see what your opinions are about it.
It's a book from 1974 (I think there is only one edition of this book) and its titled "The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms" by Aho, Hopcroft & Ullman. Great great book with many surprising results after and including chapter 6 and also on chapter 2!

[Inddesign]

I will check your recommendations! And I'd like to add some books for Spanish speakers: "matemáticas simplificadas-conamat" and "aritmética-Baldor" both have answers and thus far those were quite useful for me. Thank you so much!

I'm going to be honest: there are huge gaps in my mathematical knowledge(F in algebra 2 because I slept through class), and am currently a math major. Because of all of the gaps that I have, whenever I run into new-to-me algebra, I have to teach myself that algebra. It's simultaneously frustrating and hysterical. But I did notice that other students who I assume did well or at least average(not getting F in math), seem to run into road blocks as well. So you either learn new algebra, or are refreshing algebra. The speed of which might be up to the individual. But regardless, it is worth getting into math for an undergrad for sure. There are so many problems in social science, philosophy, etc. which are my true interests whose solutions or further problem solving is illuminated because of the math I've learned so far. I may not be great at it, but I am learning a lot and doing well enough to get through these courses. If you are wondering if you should start math, start math now, even if you have to take a lot of time to process the information and problems, it only does you good.

Do you have Spivak's 5 Volume Set on Differential Geometry? I bought them but I don't know near enough yet to make use of them, but would love to see a video on them regardless, they're some of the most beautiful textbooks imagineable. He also wrote a book called Physics for Mathematicians which is like Mechanics proved rigorously and also deserves a spotlight!

[shivanijugran]

After a long time coming back to your videos. Professor, you never fail to motivate me ❤❤❤

[tuckershannon]

I really liked these as a refresher, I got them a while ago and worked through to bring myself back up to speed. I will say I think they read better as a refresher, and if you were trying to learn the topics for the first time I felt like it might not be written that well, just my opinion!

[sennpowerhv]

I recommend Carson Dellosa 100+ Pre Algebra thru
Algebra 2. I made a video on them

[KINGJOHN-wduk]

i recommend elementary algebra by hall and knight

[madess]

Mcmullen books are absolutely the best as far as im concerned

[frfrpr]

Really motivation. I appreciate it. Thanks

[salkinfamilychiropractic]

what's the next step after these two books?

[kjmav]

I’m looking toward finishing my Singapore Math curriculum in the next year or so. I’ll have finished 6th grade. I am ‘way more confident in math now, and I am looking for “pre-algrebra.” Maybe this fits what I need.

[aether]

Hi guys. Whats your reccs for learning limits, continuity and derivatives ?
