Would you mind sharing the names of the books that you’ve gathered for your daughter?
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoSure. I feel that many contemporary undergraduate/college textbooks are actually fine in this regard (like Topics in Contemporary Math by Bello, Britton, and Kaul). As for the rest, some of my favorites: - Warner, Pure Mathematcis for Beginners - Devlin, Introduction to Mathematical Thinking - Stewart, Concepts of Modern Mathematics - Herrmann, Sally, Number, Shape, and Symmetry - Baylis, What is Mathematical Analysis? - Feil, Krone, Essential Discrete Math for Computer Science - Rotman, A First Course in Abstract Algebra with Applications - Banjamin, Chartrand, Zhang, The Fascinating World of Graph Theory - Zou, Mult-Variable Calculus: A First Step - Hubbard, The World According to Wavelets - Sayama, Introduction to the Modeling and Analysis of Complex Systems - Darst, Introduction to Linear Programming: Applications and Extensions - Sourin, Making Images with Mathematics - Gallian, Contemporary Abstract Algebra And many others. Of course, all such lists are completely arbitrary. Once I get familiar with a certain topic, elaborate explanations seem redundant and I feel like shouting, "Get to the point already!" - whereas the same explanations can be extremely helpful for a beginner.
