SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on compiling a list of essential books for self-teaching high school to university-level Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, including Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus. Key recommendations include "Understanding Analysis" by Abbott for a rigorous introduction to calculus and analysis, and works by Richard Feynman for motivation in studying physics. The goal is to create a comprehensive reading list that facilitates a progressive understanding of these subjects.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of high school-level Mathematics
  • Familiarity with fundamental concepts in Physics and Chemistry
  • Knowledge of self-study techniques and resources
  • Interest in academic literature and educational methodologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research additional titles in Mathematics, such as "Calculus" by James Stewart
  • Explore introductory Physics texts, including "The Feynman Lectures on Physics"
  • Investigate Chemistry resources, like "Chemistry: The Central Science" by Brown, LeMay, and Bursten
  • Look into Biology books, such as "Biology" by Campbell and Reece for foundational knowledge
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for high school students, self-learners, educators, and anyone seeking to build a solid foundation in Science and Mathematics from high school to university level.

This is going to be asking for a lot, but I'd be grateful for any help I can receive in my endeavor.

I am looking to compile a list of a series of books that someone could read to self-teach themselves a high school understanding of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematical subjects such as Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus, eventually reaching a university level understanding.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, and as I said, I'd be grateful for any help.


Edit: I'm not sure if this should be in here or Academic Guidance. =x

I enjoyed the book Understanding Analysis by Abbott, it is a small book that gives you a rigorous introduction to calculus and analysis. I think that would be a goodstart. Anything by Feynman is great and will give you motivation to study physics.
