This is a list I put together for my own studies.
So if you have any questions about the curricula, please direct them here.
Start
with Algebra
Pre-Algebra covers ‘natural numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, percentages, real numbers, linear equations, basic geometry, and graphs’, which you would ‘normally’ have learned in secondary school, so I consider it an optional step.
- Pre-Algebra, Nichols
- Elementary Algebra, Sullivan, Struve, Mazzarella
or with Discrete Math
Pick one of below, but 2-4 are really hard. I would take 1 & 2.
- Discrete Mathematical Structures, Kolman, Busby, Ross
- Concrete Mathematics, Graham, Knuth, Patashnik
- or Discrete Mathematics and its Applications, Rosen
- or Discrete and Combinatorial Mathematics, Grimaldi
or Jump right into Proof Writing
Recommended book was ‘How to Prove it’.
- How To Prove It, Velleman
