What are some recommended books for preparing for the ISI entrance exam?

Other recommended books include "Higher Algebra" by Hall and Knight, "Problems in Calculus of One Variable" by I.A. Maron, and "A Course of Mathematical Analysis" by Shanti Narayan. These books can be easily found in bookstores and are not too rare or hard to find. Additionally, the books you already have, "Plane Trigonometry" by S.L. Loney and "Challenge and Thrill of Precollege Mathematics" are good resources for building the basics. In summary, for preparing for the bmath entrance exam, it is recommended to use the ISI's book TOMATO and other books such as "Higher Algebra" by
