My story with Chris McMullen books so far. I started with the Algebra essentials which was fantastic. I then moved on to the trig book. I quit on one of the chapters at the end because Chris simplified a nested square root in a way I couldn't understand. After hours looking online, I discovered he did this by 'completing the square' which is complicated for nested squared roots.
I then moved on to the essential calculus book. Chris introduces us to numbers to the power of 3 and higher, something not covered in algebra essentials. I was quite lost so I decided I needed to improve my algebra.
I bought intermediate alegbra by Chris which is great. Two chapeters in and I'm much more comfortable with unkowns to the power of 3 and higher, and how to work with them.
I returned to essential calculus and was able to complete chapter 1. However, although I learned the process to solve, I didn’t actual know what I was achieving or why. So I bought calculus made easy by silvanus as this channel also recommended it. That book so far has really helped me understand what you're actually doing in calculus.

In summary, Chris's books are great, but you may need some additional resources. To be fair to Chris, he does say at the start of each book that they're only meant to be supplementary to other books but I've found them way more enjoyable than standard math text books.

Big thanks to this channel for inspiring my math journey. Big confidence boost to hear I almost completed the whole trig book which is considered difficult. Especially for me who dropped out of higher maths in school and took ordinary/pass math.

When I taught MBA students (stats or finance), I would send out what I called "the infinited problem set" where in Excel I had the problem details and solutions randomly generated using Excel's random number generator. This meant that the students had as much or a little practise as they wanted. It also meant that there were no complaints about not having enough or the right kind of practise.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I have been wanting to relearn math from the ground up for some time but had never known which books might be best for that! Thank you, Math Sorcerer!

[charlesmitchell]

Thanks for the reviews. I own a couple of the Chris McMullen books and you’re right, they are great. I will probably end up getting all of them now after seeing this video. There is a type of satisfaction that you get from being able to do math problems correctly that you just don’t get from non-mathematical subjects so I like to keep my skills fresh. Thanks again!

As one of many people here who were inspired by you (from your huge collections of books to actual knowledge), discovering your channel and actively following it was a huge treasure for me, for it made me use mathematics as an antidote for stress and a long-lasting hobby✌🏻

Thanks for making this video. I started practicing from 'Pre-algebra, Algebra 1' notebook series after watching one of your videos reviewing it. And that book has really helped me to refresh my math basics. Also Essential Pre-Algebra is an incredible book for practicing pre-algebra there's so much exercises in it!
Thanks again for making these videos and igniting our passion for Math.

I worked through the Prealgebra book by Chris McMullen and I agree that his workbooks are excellent. I only got 79 percent of the problems right😄😄. But I worked through another prealgebra junior high textbook and got 93 percent correct. That is not a criticism on the McMullen book. I intend to get his other books especially his Calculus workbook. I mean, I wished I had the McMullen books when I was in junior high or high school because I would have been at least a B student.

I went to school for performance in classical guitar and it was actually music theory that helped me improve in Math. As a kid I always wondered, "why/how, " to everything. Well, when it comes to why the Greeks chose equal temperament I was told I would have to go back and ask them about their Math. Hahaha. But, what that did was let me know: these are the rules to go off of. It always came down to practice time vs ALL other course study time and guitar always won. Thank you for these videos. They're perfect for self studying and I love your enthusiasm. Excited to go back and start learning again.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you math genius for inspiring & motivating me for mathematics.

Thank you for sharing all this precious knowledge and information !!! So grateful !!!!
Your passion for books is motivating and amazing !

Hi, i recently discovered the OpenStax math books, they are a series of open source math books that are also approved by the the American Mathematical Association.

So i was wondering what do you think about these books?

I apologize if you have already expressed your opinion in some other video, i searched "The Math Sorcerer OpenStax" on Youtube with no results, so i assumed you haven't talked about them.

I own a Kindle Scribe (e-ink, e-note, e-reader device) so the free PDF math books were really convenient for me, these books finally got me into math after a long time of me sporadically getting inspired by your videos but at the same time never crossing the barrier of getting some math books to actually start.

I wish a physics teacher like you sir.

Bought the Geometry in April, just finished it last week, highly recommended for both directness, simplicity, and covering the bases. In a few places there are all the formulae you need for that concept on 1-2 pages, making study/memorization easier. About this video: 1. Yes, having all the steps in the answer section imo is CRUCIAL to understanding what you need to both work AND remember the concepts/problems. Not sure why any book would leave that out. 2. I wish they would change that rule, if it is a rule, about not teaching geometry in college. I missed it somehow and didn't know why I couldn't figure out key points in later classes. About 40% of the Geometry book in this video, I've never seen before in my life, e.g., prisms, kites, rhombus, surface area of a sphere, I missed a lot by not having that already.

My favorite book is the “Everything you Need to Know about Pre Algebra & Algebra 1”

[slydog]

Great video. I followed your recommendations and bought a couple of those books.

[mohamadwalieddine]

Thanks for this roadmap can't wait to order the books

[noam]

Those are some great recommendations! Also, wonderful presentations.

The beginning sound was like that gong from mortal kombat: "Test your might!" I immediately imagined a breaking test with that stack of books x-D

Anyone who wants more practice search up “Paul Calc Notes” it’s a game changer
