I was asking a similar question a few years ago and found Ivan Savov’s “No Bullshit Guide to Math & Physics” to be really helpful.

- vmilner 5y agoI really like the "placement exam" in this, that tells you where your weaknesses are and what to focus on. I feel like this is the kind of tool I want when someone says "I suck at X".
- ivansavz 5y agoFor reference, here is the placement exam from the front of the book preview: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_preview.pdf#page=6 https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_pr...
- ivansavz 5y agoThanks for the plug and I'm glad the book worked out for you. I've been keeping the book up to date and "maintaining" by fixing typos and improving certain explanations. If anyone else is interested, you can see a extended preview here: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_preview.pdf https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_pr... and the concept map from the book is here: https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/math_and_physics_concepts.pdf https://minireference.com/static/conceptmaps/math_and_physic... I also recently released shorter book focussing just on high school math chapter, for people who are not interested in calculus but still want a refresher on the basics. You can check it out here with fancy new cover design and website: https://nobsmath.com/ https://nobsmath.com/ (it's basically Chapter 1 of the big book) Aussi disponible en Français https://nobsmath.com/fr/ https://nobsmath.com/fr/
