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 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

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 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
