I read Lockhart's Lament and I want to try math again.
I stopped learning it in like 5th grade, so probably need to start from elementary level.
Advise courses, books, articles, web resources, gamified platforms, etc.
* How to Prove It by Daniel J. Velleman
* Calculus, Volume 1 and 2 by Tom M. Apostol
+ textbooks about linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and probability.
This will give you a solid foundation for pursuing undergraduate science and engineering.
Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell by George F. Simmons and https://www.people.vcu.edu/~rhammack/BookOfProof/
Isn't Lockhart completely wrong, though? It was a long time since I read his screed but from what I remember he denied the fact that mathematics is just a part of physics.
I don't really care about his rant, to be honest, but he reminded me that my math course was awful back in school, though I did well at first, was interested in the subject and had no problem with math "complexity" -- before I got bored to death.
So, I tried to re-learn it from basics and I like it. Moreover, I think I need it now to become a better programmer.
Calculus Revisited is a series of videos and related resources that covers the materials normally found in a freshman-level introductory calculus course. The series was first released in 1970 as a way for people to review the essentials of calculus. It is equally valuable for students who are learning calculus for the first time.

Black and white, 1970, no faggotry. Harder and harder to google.
Just don't use google.

Falsehood:
Lockhart's Lament
Truth:
Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
>>8 I think I understood infinity under LSD.

"An infinite set is just a set that is in bijection with a strict subset of itself, what's the problem?"

Already took Udemy course for fundamental math. I'll move to linear algebra after I refresh my memory on basic things.
The problem is that
**I LOVE U TO INFINITY
OH OH OH
LOVE U TO INFINITY

No, thanks.

Why not? Soviet mathematics books are highly regarded.
Only inside heads of delusional w*stoids.

Trying to make a political issue out of mathematics... Just sad.
>>17
My uncle's mathematics books were better than the ones I used because they weren't full of zany pictures and tips 'n' tricks, they just relayed information
Maybe, stop advising Muscovite garbage in civilized discussion.
political issue
Oh, it's only politics that several Ukrainian civilians again died today from Muscovite missile strike. Just don't be political, dooooood...
please give me math books for dummies
for posts later...
In divinis enim quamquam in supposito sint essentia et relatio et essentia continet relationem, non tamen e contra in proposito; nec intellectus continet voluntatem nec e contra, ideo ista sunt idem idemptice, quia in contente solum, non quia ipsa inter se sunt idem sicut sunt attributa divina non solum idem idemptice sed inter se. Similiter quia quelibet persona in divinis est intrinsece infinita ideo perfecte continet intrinsece quamlibet perfectionem simpliciter que est in alia non sic continet intelligentia memoriam, sed solum concomitantur.
hi, I learned English for 10 years to be able to talk with civilized people and read good-tier books in English, can you please advise anything for learning math
sure, here's Russian garbage
If I needed to dive deep in Russian shit, I would go to 2ch.hk or whatever. Why w*stoid snowflakes are so stupid in common things, I don't get it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Perelman
Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman (Russian: Григорий Яковлевич Перельман, IPA: [ɡrʲɪˈɡorʲɪj ˈjakəvlʲɪvʲɪtɕ pʲɪrʲɪlʲˈman] (listen); born 13 June 1966) is a Russian mathematician who is known for his contributions to the fields of geometric analysis, Riemannian geometry, and geometric topology. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest living mathematicians.[1][2][3]
In the 1990s, partly in collaboration with Yuri Burago, Mikhael Gromov, and Anton Petrunin, he made influential contributions to the study of Alexandrov spaces. In 1994, he proved the soul conjecture in Riemannian geometry, which had been an open problem for the previous 20 years. In 2002 and 2003, he developed new techniques in the analysis of Ricci flow, thereby providing a detailed sketch of a proof of the Poincaré conjecture and Thurston's geometrization conjecture, the former of which had been a famous open problem in mathematics for the past century. The full details of Perelman's work were filled in and explained by various authors over the following several years.
In August 2006, Perelman was offered the Fields Medal[4] for "his contributions to geometry and his revolutionary insights into the analytical and geometric structure of the Ricci flow", but he declined the award, stating: "I'm not interested in money or fame; I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo."[5] On 22 December 2006, the scientific journal Science recognized Perelman's proof of the Poincaré conjecture as the scientific "Breakthrough of the Year", the first such recognition in the area of mathematics.[6]
On 18 March 2010, it was announced that he had met the criteria to receive the first Clay Millennium Prize[7] for resolution of the Poincaré conjecture. On 1 July 2010, he rejected the prize of one million dollars, saying that he considered the decision of the board of the Clay Institute to be unfair, in that his contribution to solving the Poincaré conjecture was no greater than that of Richard S. Hamilton, the mathematician who pioneered the Ricci flow partly with the aim of attacking the conjecture.[8][9] He had previously rejected the prestigious prize of the European Mathematical Society in 1996.[10]

Ok, what's then? I simply won't read Russian garbage, stop being triggered by my choices, delusional w*stoid.

LMAO you wasted 10 years, pal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_axioms
The Kolmogorov axioms are the foundations of probability theory introduced by Russian mathematician Andrey Kolmogorov in 1933.[1] These axioms remain central and have direct contributions to mathematics, the physical sciences, and real-world probability cases.[2] An alternative approach to formalising probability, favoured by some Bayesians, is given by Cox's theorem.[3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_complexity_theory
In algorithmic information theory (a subfield of computer science and mathematics), the Kolmogorov complexity of an object, such as a piece of text, is the length of a shortest computer program (in a predetermined programming language) that produces the object as output. It is a measure of the computational resources needed to specify the object, and is also known as algorithmic complexity, Solomonoff–Kolmogorov–Chaitin complexity, program-size complexity, descriptive complexity, or algorithmic entropy. It is named after Andrey Kolmogorov, who first published on the subject in 1963.[1][2]
The notion of Kolmogorov complexity can be used to state and prove impossibility results akin to Cantor's diagonal argument, Gödel's incompleteness theorem, and Turing's halting problem. In particular, no program P computing a lower bound for each text's Kolmogorov complexity can return a value essentially larger than P's own length (see section § Chaitin's incompleteness theorem); hence no single program can compute the exact Kolmogorov complexity for infinitely many texts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Kolmogorov
Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov (Russian: Андре́й Никола́евич Колмого́ров, IPA: [ɐnˈdrʲej nʲɪkɐˈlajɪvʲɪtɕ kəlmɐˈɡorəf] (listen), 25 April 1903 – 20 October 1987)[4][5] was a Soviet mathematician who contributed to the mathematics of probability theory, topology, intuitionistic logic, turbulence, classical mechanics, algorithmic information theory and computational complexity.[3][2][6]
[...]
A quotation attributed to Kolmogorov is [translated into English]: "Every mathematician believes that he is ahead of the others. The reason none state this belief in public is because they are intelligent people."
