TEXTBOOKS

But the whole of Hogben is, all 1477 pages

Don't study before uni. Just buy some weed instead.

An insane amount that is not necessary for a
>foundation

Hogben is not a textbook. It has no problems and hardly any proofs. Its for reference not for learning.

...

what a nice guide for self teaching math. particularly the bible and the 2000 page electronics reference

>can't prove it himself
What a pity

Anyone got textbooks for physics and or applied enginiering? preferably online?

i know i'm asking for alot here but in all honesty, my school is shit at my major and would like to have some skills to fall back on...

For the love of God, do not buy textbooks. You can easily download them online or find them in a university library. The textbook industry is a giant scam.

>textbook industry
How dare tenured authors get compensation for writing a book single handily and then firing up their ancestors printing press to get it published

There are a small selection of textbooks that are actually reputable and decent. However, there are too many textbooks targeted at gullible undergraduates that go something like
>"University Physics for College Babbies Who Shouldn't Be Taking a Physics Course, the Contents of Which Were Totally Not Stolen From a Particular More Famous Textbook, 19th Edition" by 5 different no-name authors, $500 bucks please
These should be avoided at all cost.

>doesn't have the common sense to ignore the irrelevant parts

>Are you SERIOUSLY trying to suggest to me that it might possibly me a nice idea to try to read non-scientific literature every once in a while so as to gain more cultural awareness?????????

Gelfand's Algebra
Gelfand's Trigonometry
Simmons' Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell: Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry
Hammack's Book of Proof (Free here: people.vcu.edu/~rhammack/BookOfProof/)
Treil's Linear Algebra Done Wrong (Free here: math.brown.edu/~treil/papers/LADW/LADW.html)
Keisler's "Elementary Calculus: An Infinitesimal Approach" (Free here: math.wisc.edu/~keisler/calc.html) or Simmons' "Calculus With Analytic Geometry" or the harder "Introduction to Calculus and Analysis, Volume I&II" by Richard Courant and Fritz John.

James Stewart was a multi-millionaire just from printing numerous "editions" of his calculus book. So yes, the textbook industry is a huge scam! Google it yourself and see the monstrous mansion he built all from selling his overpriced textbooks.

Why two Calculus book? If so, Apostol and Spivak is better.

How do you downvote?

Success in spivak without any experience in proofs or any experience in computational calculus is a long shot.

If you are an engineer and didn't read these before sophomore year you are a shit eating turbopleb.

What if you're a computer engineer?

Non-academic? Sure. Absolute garbage? No.

For lecture watch videos first then do as at least every other odd for homework.
youtube will have videos for every section in a book
it is rare to not be able to do a problem

mit ocw has full physics course use their book for this or
i like serway because the instructor solution manual is floating around

mit ocw has full python course online

calculus - larson most problems are meng type stuff (this is the most important)
linear - poole
ode - zill
discrete - epp

buy old version should run you $20
