This is a very serious question to me and I would like some advice...
I am thinking of taking an entire semester off (4 months total) to study math on my own.
Currently I am taking calculus 2 averaging 97%, although many people might consider that gratifying, which I'm not saying it isn't, I don't feel like my skills are where I would like them to be. If I decide to take a semester off I will study
Algebra: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1402159064/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Trig: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1418185094/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Calc 1,2 : https://www.amazon.com/dp/0495011665/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Geometry: Never taken a class.
University Physics I: Mechanics
and (IF I have time) discrete math or elementary lineary algebra.
My goal is to gain a solid foundation by filling in any gaps that I have, by doing this I hope to gain a higher understanding of math which will benefit me when I have to take upper level math classes, physics classes and academia in general.
Currently I have not decided on a career path but I know it will fall in the line of mathematics and in my opinion, with a stronger foundation will come a much greater understanding in the material I will face through the upcoming years of my education.
