Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around recommendations for books to learn mathematics, specifically focusing on functions. Participants seek to identify suitable resources for different levels of mathematical understanding.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory, Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant requests recommendations for good math books without specifying a particular area or level.
- Another participant emphasizes the need for specificity in the request, suggesting that the vastness of mathematics makes it difficult to provide useful recommendations without knowing the starting point.
- A third participant directs the original poster to a specific forum that may contain existing threads with relevant book recommendations.
- A later reply suggests a specific book, "Precalculus: An Investigation of Functions" by Lippman, noting its affordability and availability of a free preview on Amazon.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the need for more specific information to provide useful recommendations, but no consensus on particular books has been reached beyond the mention of Lippman's book.

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?
