What are the essential maths skills for studying physics?

[Shan K]

Please help me .
I am in great denger .
I am a student of Physics Major . But My mathematics is very poor . But I want to rectify these gaps . So can please tell me some basic books or tutorial on calculus, algebra, trigonometry, geometry, Differential Equation and Statistics.
I am facing really big problem in my study of physics .
I want really basic book where all the theorems and relations are derived.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

I will try.The following is a comment I heard early in university that helped me some.
" Numerical data comes in many forms, most often it's form is not readily usable.
algebra is a methodology for converting numbers from an unusable form to a usable form,
and being assured of your result."
Don't look at the math just for the sake of math, but as a more accurate way to
describe the world around you.

I know johnbbahm. And that's why I want to know it in more detailed way . I do maths because I really think that it is a language by which physics talk and I love it very much but due to some reason I couldn't able to get it . One of the reason is lack of practice . But now I want to start it from the basic to fill the gaps that is grown in me . so please help me. i want to know from the very first .

Shan K,
Some brilliant books that I have on the shelf next to me that I love to recommended are:
Calculus - An intuitive and Physical approach by: Kline
Technical Calculus and Analytical Geometry by: Gersting

These books focus on single variable, but are still excellent. For the most part
DOVER publishers publish a large number of excellent maths books ranging from algebra to differential equations and beyond. Hope this helps.
