I am 21 and have got into computer programming. Doing very well in my degree. Would love to get into computer science but feel I am being held back by my basic knowledge of maths. I got an A at GCSE, but failed A Level Math. I want a book aimed at adults, which will start me back where I left off - at A Level standard.
There are soooo many maths books out there. I don't have a clue which one suits me so I thought I would ask here. Can anyone recommend me a book that meets my requirements. Thank you.
Converted my comment to an answer, since I ran out of space:
If your motivation is to improve your programming, then much depends on what types of programs you write. A lot of programming can be done with little or no knowledge of mathematics. And, as proof of this, the level of mathematical knowledge in many programming communities is astonishingly poor, but the code still seems to work most of the time.
On the other hand, if you're doing graphics or game programming (for example), it will be quite useful to have some knowledge of basic linear algebra, geometry, vectors, calculus, and simple numerical methods.
So, tell us what kind of programming you do, and where you think your maths is weak, and you'll get some more specific advice.
I have never looked at them myself, but people often recommend the Khan Academy tutorials.
