This is a good book to read, free pdf version. Don’t judge the book by it’s cover. Read section 1, and 2, see if you learn something you weren’t expecting ~.^

This is one of the books that Feynman used to learn calculus while he was in high school. He sometimes would quote from it: "What one fool can do, another can."
