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

Click For Summary
For preparing for the BMath entrance exam for ISI, it's essential to build a solid foundation in mathematics over the year available for study. The user already possesses "Plane Trigonometry" by S.L. Loney and "Challenge and Thrill of Pre-College Mathematics," which are considered good resources for foundational concepts. Additionally, the ISI's own publication, TOMATO (Test of Mathematics at the 10+2 Level), is recommended for targeted preparation. The discussion highlights the need for reliable book suggestions that are accessible and effective, emphasizing the importance of firsthand experiences with the materials. Overall, focusing on well-regarded texts and resources that align with the exam's requirements is crucial for successful preparation.

Hello Intellectuals! So far it seems to be reasonable to learn mathematics in a rigorous way by not solely considering the techniques of problem solving or the applications of a particular subject or concept. Also to truly appreciate the beauty of mathematical endeavor one need to learn the reasoning behind the origination of concepts in mathematics, so as a beginner it appears to be worthwhile to learn the highly abstract aspects of mathematics like proofs, logic, and topics in pure...
