    I Have both books by Allendoerfer/Oakley do I need Lang?

    I am starting my self-study and am going from the ground up starting with a rigorous treatment of some "pre-calculus" material. I have both "Principles of Mathematics" and "Freshman Mathematics" by Allendoerfer and Oakley. Do I need Serge Lang's Basic Mathematics? Is there anything that is...

    Starting my Self-Study of Rigorous Mathematics

    Gaskill's book came in the mail yesterday and I've read chapter 1 of Liebeck's books, its pretty good. I'm trying to get a feel for what proof techniques to use on what types of problems, although more than one can be used. And I'm trying to follow the logic. His book is really good and it...
