Ask HN: My math foundation is weak, can HN recommend useful math resources?
I've realized that my mathematical foundation is a bit weak, can you guys recommend some useful mathematical resources (articles, books, documentaries, papers, videos, etc.) to relearn or better my foundation of Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and some of Calculus?
Also, are there any articles, books, papers, documentaries, or other resources about interesting math or mathematical phenomenon that you guys would recommend?
Thanks! are there any articles, books, papers, documentaries, or other resources about interesting math or mathematical phenomenon that you guys would recommend? A book list I posted in answer to a similar question a while ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=497796 And another list: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=755416 Books and links to articles: Project Euler offers an interesting set of challenges. Khan Academy (khanacademy.org) definitely! Try going through the videos and exercises of the MIT OCW materials. Khan Academy FTW With math, the one thing that works best is practice. Get some high-school math books and start solving problems. Solve all of them, then get yourself another textbook and solve the problems there. "ocw scholar" at MIT. Start with calculus, then do linear algebra. By the time you're done, they'll have their DE course refactored for independent learning too. Try PatrickJMT
