This sounds like a good idea and I think I'll actually work through this book. Are there solutions? Are there books similar to spivak for the other topics I listed that build up a strong foundation and focus on proofs? I'm really looking to prepare myself for undergraduate studies in math.

this year I finished calculus BC, which is the equivalent of calc 1 and 2. I feel as though I've completely mastered the material and I'm ready to start moving on before I enter university next year. The next math classes I'd be taking would be differential equations, calc 3 (multivariable...

how does UF compare to top programs like MIT, Caltech, Princeton or University of Chicago? I'm mainly concerned about undergrad for now.

I have an interest in classical mathematics and math more than quantum mechanics but I'd be down for anything.

so you're against public education?

community colleges let me take some for free as a high schooler. i agree that i want to have some proof that I've taken advanced math classes so i can get started with more fun stuff in college, even if i could learn it from a book. Also i want something more structured so i can get it done...

lol i'd rather take math classes than have a job. I'm a senior in high school next year and i just like math.

ok thanks for the help. i already know derivatives and integrals too.

alright we'll i don't think I'm going to take physics over the summer anyway. would calc1 and linear algebra be fine to take at the same time? Over the summer I'm not going anywhere so i have the time.

will physics 1 be anything i haven't learned from ap physics B?

So this summer I'm thinking about taking some community college classes so my summer isn't a total waste. I've taken precalc, ap physics b, and ap chemistry. I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas of which classes would be mo Applied Physics General Physics and Calculus 1 College...

I'm in my junior year of high school.

Me and my friend love physics/math and we're interested in going to a summer program to learn more. Does anyone know some good ones?

Wow thanks for the great replies here. I've already started on kinematics (I think I'm almost done but is anyone ever really "done"?) and from what you guys are saying I need to learn calculus. I'm only in precalculus at school and next year I'll be in AP Calculus BC.

I'm currently a high school student and I'm looking forward to doing the physics olympiad and physics bowl and perhaps becoming a physicist myself. One problem I have is whenever I attempt some problems I have no idea what to do because I haven't had enough physics exposure. What do I need to...
