List of books in which at the end I can understand most mathematical symbols

139 Views Asked by At

I am so sorry if my question seems selfish. There are already so many existing questions asking for a list of books to better learn math is some way or another.

This is a list of all the math symbols:

https://www.rapidtables.com/math/symbols/Basic_Math_Symbols.html

Can anyone recommend a short list, possibly of 10-20 books (for beginners or easy to read) in which through learning their subjects, at the end I will have a basic understanding with at least most symbols?

Update: My knowledge ends with high school symbols: Basic Algebra, Basic Geometry and Basic calculus. I was very good in math in high school, but my life took another direction. I am very good at understanding theorems, but in a very procedural fashion. I would like to close the gap with better understanding of symbols.

If it helps to understand what my goal is: my goal is to read these books and be able to come back to this forum and understand most questions in this forum (not necessarily their answers). From there I would be able to further my studies in the directions I want.

What I am trying to do is to get the most knowledge of most symbols in an elementary way, Instead of diving through topics. My assumption is that it will then be easier for me to dive into a specific topic.

I know there is Khan Academy, but I am a little bit old fashioned and my plan is to buy 10 books.
