"The former Soviet educational system, OTOH, had probably some of the strongest math education, and much of it has been translated to English - pick up a book from that period and you will probably see a small and dense text that introduces high-level concepts in great, if unforgiving, detail. Very different from the thick drill+practice textbooks I'm used to."
Could you provide a url for some of these? Should I look up any specific publishers? Thanks in advance!
- gunderson 18y agoI second that. This is one of the best ones: http://books.google.com/books?id=ikMAzFXpFOsC&printsec=frontcover http://books.google.com/books?id=ikMAzFXpFOsC&printsec=f... btw if anyone wants to do a collaborative chapter by chapter self-study, just send me a private message. I have had it on my shelf for a while but haven't taken the time to do a few pages a day as intended.
