First off let me say that math and I don’t get along. I want to be it’s friend, but it certainly doesn’t want to be mine. I have been out of high school for some time (decades) and recently returned to college. I saw these classes listed as math requirements on my new major and got rather worried.
I have a learning disability related to math. Despite the username, I’m not a completely stupid person however math never clicks in my head. It was a struggle to pass algebra 1, and I can’t say I remember anything about that class from last year.
I wanted to ask this forum if there were any recommended books, apps, YouTube videos, etc. that they could recommend in regards to Analysis. I’d like to read a book or take an app class (like Khan Academy) that will help me prepare for this class. Even if it’s using Khans Academy to retake a specific class that I might need to take to refresh or prepare for the classes. I didn’t see they offered anything for Analysis.
I have looked on amazon and there are a wide variety of books, and no shortage of YouTube videos, but I guess I am looking to see if anyone had recommendations for people like me, where math is a terrifying subject that makes little sense.
Thanks
For complex analysis, try Tristan Needham's "Visual Complex Analysis" (http://usf.usfca.edu/vca/).
For real analysis, I suggest David Bressoud's "A Radical Approach to Real Analysis" https://www.maa.org/press/books/a-radical-approach-to-real-analysis.
There are many good online courses on eDX (https://www.edx.org/) and MIT OCW (https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm) if you want something more structured and complete than YouTube videos which typically don't include the notes, worksheets, etc.
Good luck!
