Ghost Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Next year I'm going into Advanced Mathematics and Extension Maths (above Advanced).Only problem is I'm not the best mathematician.But I do spend heaps of time reading, so I might as well make some good of that.Does anybody know of some good books on fairly high level mathematics?Any help would be much appreciated.

bigm141414 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Oooo. That's a hard question to answer. What type of math are you interested in? Calculus? Multivariable calc? Differential equations? Topology? Linear/non linear algebra? Set Theory? Advanced mathematics is quite diverse. That being said - I would recommend any and all books published by the Dover company. Why? Well, 1) they are inexpensive for text books (like 15-20 bucks). 2) They are well written and all of the problems come with solutions.

Ghost Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I need to be able to do algebra in my sleep, or so I've heard.I will need to check the curriculum, you are right, it is incredibly diverse. Link to comment
DreadfulGirl Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have degrees in art history and philosophy which is one way of saying that I'm not much of a mathematician either. But I own and like both Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach and Mathematics for the Nonmathematician by Morris Kline. Neither is specifically algebra focused but they still might be interesting.
