Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding resources for practicing math and physics, specifically books that contain a variety of exercises and problems. Participants are exploring options for self-study materials that include intermediate algebra and physics questions, with a preference for books that provide solutions or steps for the problems.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to practice math regularly to retain knowledge and seeks recommendations for books filled with intermediate algebra questions and word problems.
  • Another participant suggests Schaum's Outlines as a suitable resource, noting that these books provide overviews of topics, worked exercises, and additional unworked exercises with answers at the back.
  • A different participant indicates interest in e-books and requests further recommendations for digital resources.
  • One participant proposes checking second-hand bookshops as a potential source for finding the desired materials.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on specific book recommendations, but there is a general agreement on the types of resources being sought, such as Schaum's Outlines and e-books.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified particular titles or editions of books, and there may be varying definitions of what constitutes "intermediate algebra" or "college-level math." The discussion does not resolve the effectiveness of redoing example questions and exercises.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals preparing for college-level math and physics courses, self-learners seeking practice materials, and those interested in exploring various educational resources for mathematics and physics.

I want to be able to practice my math weekly or monthly so the stuff I learned stays in my head. I am currently self-studying to enter a college program in Sept. and I suspect I may be finished my pre-requisites 2 months early.

What can I do? Is it counter productive to re-do example questions and exercises? Are there any resources I can buy? Where can I buy a big book of math questions? I'd like to buy one packed with intermediate algebra questions (Grade 11 and 12 college level math). One with a bunch of word problems that shows also shows the steps at the back of the book rather than just the answers. Does anyone know where I can purchase them?

And one more thing, one for grade 11 and 12 physics?

You have pretty much stated the contents of Schaum's Outlines. Find one for the topic you're interested in reviewing and you're good to go.
each chapter gives a brief overview of the topic of interest with the relevant results highlighted, then there are several fully worked exercises, plus more unworked execises, but with answers at the back.
 
Awesome. I'm definitely going to take a look. I will be looking for e-books aswell, so if anyone recommends any please share :)
 
why don't you look in a second hand bookshop?
