Schools How to Self-Study Basic High School Mathematics - Comments

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a new PF Insights post by micromass on self-studying basic high school mathematics. Participants suggest enhancing the post by including online resources like Khan Academy and MathIsPower4u.com, as well as recommending the book "Fundamentals of Freshman Mathematics" by Allendoerfer/Oakley for its clear exposition. There is a call for a review of the best online resources and a suggestion to add sections on combinatorics, probability, and descriptive statistics. Additionally, problem-solving resources such as Titu Andreescu's problem books and Schaum's Outlines: Intermediate Algebra are highlighted as valuable tools for learners.

Doing an review Insight on the best online resources would be great too!
 
I also recommend the book called "Fundamentals of Freshman Mathematics" by Allendoerfer/Oakley. The book is more or less on the level of Lang's Basic Mathematics, but has a clearer exposition than Lang in my opinion. After reading that book, I do not recall a need for extra books on the high-school mathematics.
 
Quite valuable info. Really helpful!
 
Great, exactly what i was looking for!

Maybe you should also add a section on Combinatorics, Probability and Descriptive statistics

and for problem books there is the Titu Andreescu problem books and Schaum's Outlines: Intermediate Algebra

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
