My name is Sonny and I am a mental health support worker. I am interested in learning math but having no background in it, I don't know where to start.
i took math in grade 12 in Australia. so i know little bit of integral and differential calculus and high school geometry. i got interested in math due to fantastic results demonstrated in you tube videos about number theory. It really amazed me to know that numbers have properties independent of their own. hence the interest in math. Can any one please suggest me a book for a beginner like me?
Thanks
The best way to learn math is to sit with good math books and do almost all of the problems in them. Get recommendations for your level, and when the mood moves you spend a few free hours with the book. I will recommend one book that may be at the right level for you from the comments. The book is Calculus by Michael Spivak, and I recommend finding a much cheaper copy than in the link. Theoretically it requires no prior knowledge, and despite the name this is not the calculus you learn in high school, it is a gateway to advanced mathematics.
