One way to improve your appreciation of math is to look at numberphile channel on YouTube where they interview practicing mathematicians about an interesting math problem.

Another YouTube channel is 3brown1blue who does some really beautiful presentations on math. He has a sequence on the essence of calculus and on linear algebra.

Get some math textbooks and do every practice problem at the end of each chapter.

Maybe you could order some books from bookdepository or amazon.
Sorry, but books are the way to learn everything...

One book I liked was Math 1001 by Prof Elwes

Its a catalog of math topics giving you some insight while encouraging to research it more.

Its about $20 usd on amazon

Another question. Are you more interested in proving theorems or solving problems?

I recently asked my abstract algebra professor about proof-based textbooks and he suggested a text called Introduction to Mathematical Structures and Proofs. It's aimed at ambitious undergraduates looking to prepare themselves for advanced proof-based courses. It's also designed for self-study so you may find it useful.

As far as problem solving goes, you might find it useful to practice some physics and differential equations. Morin and Taylor's books get recommended a lot here. The Art of Problem Solving lists math problems aimed at talented high school students. For a more computer sciency approach, try Project Euler. The problems are usually based on number theory and you have to write algorithms to solve them, so you will learn both analytical and computational approaches to solving problems.

Since you’re unfamiliar with online shopping, it would be better if you went to a local bookseller and ask them to order it for you. That was the way folks got rare books in the past.

1. How can I improve my understanding of mathematical concepts?

Improving your understanding of mathematical concepts requires consistent practice and a strong foundation in basic principles. Make sure to review previous concepts before moving on to more advanced ones, and seek help from resources such as textbooks, online tutorials, and tutors if needed.

2. What are some effective study strategies for math?

Effective study strategies for math include breaking down complex problems into smaller, more manageable parts, practicing regularly, and seeking out different types of practice questions to challenge yourself. It can also be helpful to explain concepts to others or create flashcards to reinforce your understanding.

3. How can I improve my problem-solving skills in math?

Improving problem-solving skills in math involves identifying the key information and variables in a problem, creating a plan of attack, and checking your work for accuracy. It can also be helpful to practice with a variety of problem types and to think critically about different approaches to solving a problem.

4. What are some useful resources for learning math?

Useful resources for learning math include textbooks, online tutorials and videos, practice problems and worksheets, and interactive games and apps. You can also seek out help from peers, teachers, or tutors if you are struggling with a particular concept.

5. How can I stay motivated while learning math?

Staying motivated while learning math can be challenging, but setting specific goals, celebrating your progress, and finding real-world applications for the concepts you are learning can help. It is also important to take breaks and ask for help when needed, as frustration can often lead to lack of motivation.
