I love that they have problems you can solve as well at the end of (almost) every chapter. This IS a lot of math (1,962 pages) and it’s missing a preface/intro

I love that they have problems you can solve as well at the end of (almost) every chapter.
This IS a lot of math (1,962 pages) and it’s missing a preface/introduction which would have been helpful to understand if I need to go linear or if a la carte is okay. At the moment I’d assume each major section is independent.
Awesome find! Wonder how It’s used. (One of) the author(s) seems pretty prolific too - http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~jean/ http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~jean/
- Koshkin 7y ago> a la carte Yeah, I wish we had an online resource (other than Wikipedia) anyone could learn any sort of math from in a systematic way... Oh well.
- MikeTheGreat 7y agoI'm wondering - is this a genuine request, or a snarky, implicit reference to an online resource for learning math somewhere? I'd love to know about the existing resource, if it exists. (The only thing that comes to mind is Wolfram Alpha, which didn't seem 'systematic' the last time I skimmed the main page)
- house9-2 7y agoMaybe they were referring to Khan Academy? https://www.khanacademy.org/math https://www.khanacademy.org/math
- pirocks 7y agoI think Khan academy for higher math/physics/chemistry /CS would be invaluable. Maybe it could be crowdsourced in some way?
- kebman 7y agoWell, there's always 3Blue1Brown: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYO_jab_esuFRV4b17AJtAw Take a look at his course, Essence of Calculus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUvTyaaNkzM&list=PLZHQObOWTQDMsr9K-rj53DwVRMYO3t5Yr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUvTyaaNkzM&list=PLZHQObOWTQ... I'm not fluent in math, but I find it fascinating to watch, for some reason. NancyPi is also great: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRGXV1QlxZ8aucmE45tRx8w https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRGXV1QlxZ8aucmE45tRx8w Oh, and don't forget the Mathologer: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_uAIS3r8Vu6JjXWvastJg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1_uAIS3r8Vu6JjXWvastJg What a great guy! While I'm at it, go watch Numberphile too: https://www.youtube.com/user/numberphile https://www.youtube.com/user/numberphile Is there anyone I forgot? :D
- gonza 7y agoThe way i'm trying to learn math right now is with https://ocw.mit.edu https://ocw.mit.edu, then you can look up into CS or Math programs to progress with other courses
