#1 Recommend me a good Math book
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 4:56 pm
Since I haven't studied math much over the past couple of years, and since I'm going to need to be fluent in it to do what it is I want to do, I need a good book (or books) to get caught up and help me catch up to where I last left off in school (roughly algebra2/trig), so I can just pick up where I last left off and hit the ground running.
Mind you, I'm not expecting to get caught up to the point of doing electromagnetic equations over the summer, but that is my eventual goal, as I'll need to be very fluent in math to become a proper physicist, let alone an astrophysicist. I would like to have a good math book that will make my re-introduction to math easier, and ideally something I can use as a good reference for the next few years that I'm in school.
I'll be looking up candidates on Amazon, but I'm asking here as well.
