Hello

#

So you need books

#

Prealgebra by mcgraw hill is best one

#

Also everything you need to know in prealgebra and algebra 1

#

And forgotten algebra

#

@gleaming mulch also study in professor Leonard youtube channel

#

He post best videos

#

For algebra or prealgebra

#

Use chatgpt for questions

#

People might say it was bad but I was good

#

As my experience I saw chatgpt is best part of my life

@deft nimbus Okay, got it... Any recommendations for geometry and linear algebra?

#

with all respect i dont recommend what Astromath said

#

"what is the slope of the tangent line then googling what is slope and what is tangent line" im assuming youre referring to derivatives

#

i dont think its necessary to redo prealgebra even if you want to ""redo"" it all

#

algebra 1 topics are so intuitive you could probably start at geometry

deft nimbus

# deft nimbus ?

what are you questioning for? thats the definition of a derivative

#

that math are you in @deft nimbus

deft nimbus
#

Algebra is more important then geometry

opal rose
#

yeah algebra 2 is after geometry in national curriculum lol

deft nimbus
#

And if you think redo is more time waste, it shows why your still dumb

opal rose
#

?? how old are you? you are asking for an algebra 1 book in another question

deft nimbus
opal rose
#

so im assuming youre in middle school

#

why are you offering recommendations to people that need to fulfill their PHD if you do not even know algebra 1?

#

i mean no offense but this is serious stuff man

deft nimbus
#

@opal rose if you couldn't give a suggestion to this man it's better shut and don't criticise others

deft nimbus
#

And studying algebra 1 doesn't mean I can't give suggestion

#

At least im giving one

#

Lol

i offered for him to start at geometry rather than prealgebra

Because to problem solve most of things in geometry you need knowledge of prealgebra

deft nimbus

#

basics given his occupation is higher than prealgebra

#

a college baseball player doesnt need to relearn how to throw a ball

deft nimbus
#

@opal rose he told he have to go from basic through english

#

He doesn't wanna miss a single topic

opal rose
#

ok if he wants to learn how to count apples and his times tables he can be my guest 😭

My mistake, I should have explained properly about what the basics I wanna learn. I struggle in a lot of things like Geometry, Permutations and Combinations, probability, Integration etc. By basics I meant I wanna know the all the things I need to know about Circles, Triangles, Quadrangles, what permutation is actually, when should I use the formula of combination instead of permutation, What are the formulas of probability, how it came from etc. I know them in my language also I missed some of them but now I have to learn all of them in english. If I solve a Geometry Theorem in my native language just translating in English, it wouldn’t work. I need a book name or course recommendation that explains these high school maths (8th grade to 12th grade) very well. Talking about Higher levels I need a book that explains Linear Algebra simply, A calculus book that will give me all the small details, I also need a book recommendation for Fundamental of mathematics. Now studying in English version will be tough because I've always studied in my native language. I know a lot and I don’t know a lot as well. I can't use my Native language in my final exam. My goal is I wanna be good in English plus Complete the basics as well.

Now I'm no good at probability but I know some key basics

gleaming mulch
warm silo
#

If I'm not mistaken...

gleaming mulch
#

yeah, where did that formula came from? why I divided? IDK

warm silo
#

It's prob incorrect but it's important to understand the intuition

#

It came from some type of formula however it is important to divide since there are restrictions

#

If your concerned about how the nPk stuff works you can search up a tutorial really

gleaming mulch

#

Hmm

#

You can prob use the probability principles in AOPS

#

It has introduction to probability and statistics covers a wide range of topics

gleaming mulch
#

I found it.. thanks

#

Anything else you would recommend ?

warm silo
#

But you needed help on linear algebra?

#

Like to what extent

#

Are u stuck on transformations

gleaming mulch
warm silo
#

Or smth

gleaming mulch
#

I struggle a lot in it

warm silo
#

I can prob get my friend to help

#

He's good with linear algebra

gleaming mulch
#

Does he have any course?

warm silo
gleaming mulch
#

which book would help someone the most who wanna learn it in a beginner level?

warm silo
#

Now that imma ask my friend

#

Don't know a lot about linear algebra books that are high quality

gleaming mulch
#

It doesn't feel great now, for my whole life I dealt with mathematics like memorize the formula apply them, get numbers in exam and forget it...
