Hello Selda and 
I'm afraid you will have to be a lot more specific!
Your question sounds as if you could find here: https://openstax.org/subjects
what you were looking for.
However, "does anybody know" - basically all of us - "any good books" - hundreds - "to learn math" - and here we are lost. What we understand what mathematics is, is barely what you learn at school, and to learn anything, the question needs to be answered: where do you start?
