The discussion centers around preparing for college, particularly through online resources and self-study methods, with a focus on mathematics as a foundational subject. Participants explore various materials and strategies to refresh or enhance their math skills in anticipation of future academic pursuits.
Participants generally agree on the importance of studying math as a preparatory step for college, but there is no consensus on specific materials or methods, as different recommendations are provided based on individual experiences and needs.
Participants express varying levels of familiarity with math, and some mention a lack of recent engagement with the subject, which may affect their choice of study materials. The discussion does not resolve which specific resources are best suited for different proficiency levels.
No, since I have no idea where you are in math or what your proficiency was where you were in math, I would have no idea and I can't imagine how you think anyone would, given the zero information that you have provided.JMann223 said:Is there any specific book or material you would recommend for someone who hasn't touched math in a few years nor really had to apply it?
Thank you! Checked it out and it seems like a good starting point.DS2C said:Have a look at the self [URL='https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/self-study-basic-high-school-mathematics/']study mathematics[/URL] Insights written by micromass. I haven't taken math in years, and don't even know what I've forgotten. So I basically bought every high school math book he mentioned and started at the bottom. I am only on the first two but they are really good and I have a better handle on the subjects now than when I took them in high school.
