Ask HN: Best way to learn math fundamentals?
2 comments
The Art of Problem Solving series of books is relatively affordable to an adult with disposable income and they all come with complete solution manuals: https://artofproblemsolving.com/store/list/aops-curriculum
You could spend a year or two doing ~20 problems per day while scheduling review of definitions you've understood and problems you've solved with spaced-repetition software like Anki.
Afterwards, you'd be prepared for any undergraduate mathematics curriculum in the world.

I need a refresher on the basics like polynomial algebra, trigonometry, etc, before moving forward. The end goal is to have a solid understand of calculus and linear algebra, for no reason other than the joy of learning something complex and potentially diving into a little ML theory. I've used Khan Academy in the past, but have found that I learn better when I can read what I'm learning.
I'm curious what the HN community would recommend. Is there a textbook or set of textbooks that you think are better than others? An collection of online material that you think could help? Any advice is appreciated.
