What Are the Best Books on Induction, Congruence, Vectors, and More?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on recommendations for books covering various mathematical subjects, including induction, congruence, vectors, combinatorics, algorithmics, logic, and set theory. For induction, clarification is sought on the specific type needed. Congruence is interpreted as modular arithmetic, with suggestions for introductory number theory books such as Eynden, Sierpinski, and Niven/Zuckerman. Vectors are noted to be typically addressed in trigonometry and multivariable calculus, indicating the need for specificity regarding the desired level of study. For algorithms, the recommended text is "Introduction to Algorithms" by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein.

hi!

I need some good books contains these subjext

induction , congrunce , vector , combinatorics ,algorithmics,Logic, set theory

thank you

Can be be more specific about which kind of induction?

For congruence, I assume you mean modular arithmetic . In that case, you're looking for a book on elementary number theory. I used Eynden for an intro to number theory (which covered math. induction, if that's what you meant) but other popular ones are Sierpinski, Niven/Zuckerman and Jones. Vectors are typically covered in a trigonometry class and again in multivariable calculus, so you'll have to be more specific on the level you want. For algorithms, Cormen/Leiserson/Rivest/Stein.

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
