- omaranto 16y agoSeriously? Your reply to "I'm trying to teach myself K-12 math" is "find out what mathematicians think about, instead"? My guess: you are trolling or have never read the Princeton Companion.
- joubert 16y agoI'm suggesting it because, whatever practical tutorials the poster is looking for, the Companion will make for fascinating reading. When I was in school and plodding through physics and chemistry class, I was wildly excited by other, more advanced books, which I devoured. Ditto for biology. I wish the Companion was out then, for I would have loved it (although, my love for mathematics wasn't in any way diminished). Sure, the book is not going to teach you K-12 stuff, but it is almost like standing on the edge of mountain, giving you a vista of the wonderful world of math.
- cjg 16y agoThanks for the link to this. Not that I think this book is the best thing for the OP (although he/she may enjoy it), but this is just the kind of book that I would like to read.
