Do you recomend the Math Source book method?
137465
Well, not being online while doing your homework is usually a good start.  I don't know what the "math source book method" is, but what I recommend is start earlier, and remove distractions (i.e. don't do your homework sitting in front of the TV or computer).\n\nOh yeah, and quite complaining - I was up doing homework till 5:30 in the morning on Thursday night, and past 4 every night for about four nights straight.

MathCad & Maple are both pretty good software for using Calculus, but you will probably not need your own copy for a while. When I was learning calculus I bought software to help learn it, but I never used it mainly because being a Chemical Engineering Student time was precious. It is possible it would have helped, but I ended up learning everything out of my books, except what the instructors made us do on a computer. Actually, I learned by doing an amazingly large amount of math. Later on I used computer software a lot, but not in my first two years of college.

If you want an analytical method, use a Taylor series.\nIf you want an iterative method (successive approximation, to arbitrary precision), use the CORDIC algorithm.\nThere are surely heaps of other methods.\n\nTaylor series:\narcsin z = z + (1/2) z^3/3 + (1*2)/(3*4) z^5/5 + (1*3*5)/(2*4*6) z^7/7 + ...\nSee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcsin#Infinite_series\n\nCORDIC algorithm:\nCORDIC is an iterative (not analytical) method involving shift-and-add/subtract, and some table lookup.\nIt doesn't even use multiplication! It's very efficient for both hardware and software implementations.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CORDIC\n\nAs to gp4rts's comment, by "division" I presume you mean the hard kind, i.e. floating-point division esp. by a variable not an integer constant. 1/(2*4*6) is pretty trivial stuff.\nFor what it's worth both logarithms and square-rooting require either division and/or iterative methods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_%28electronics%29).\n\nSo the bottom line is if you want to avoid *all* division, even the easy integer stuff, use CORDIC. CORDIC is commonly used in chips today, it's a very compact implementation whose speed is good-enough for many applications, and can be pipelined.

go to the source - The Art of Computer Programming by Donald Knuth.  It is the bible of data structures.

I'm reading this book right now\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0452285259&itm=1\n\nI just got it, so I haven't read too far, but so far it's very interesting and easy to understand.  Here's some others on my list\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=0195142373&itm=2\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&isbn=019514743X&itm=5\n\nI would look on ebay or half.com, or even your library, first.\n\nI also think game theory and number theory are interesting topics, so if you or anyone else has a recommendation for those, please let me know :)\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nI forgot this one, it's on my list, too\n\nhttp://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbninquiry.asp?z=y&pwb=1&ean=9780691058542\n\nAnd I agree, good for you for expanding your horizons.

I don't have any links, but stroll through your campus bookstore and look at publishers.  Contact them, let them know you are a college instructor and what subject, and they will almost always send you a free copy (must be mailed to your address at the college).  Take it a step further, agree to review and critique the book, and they'll usually pay you - couple hundred dollars or so.

I prefer Socratic Method.  Don't state, question.\n\nFor example, if you think the bible is BS...start with why you think so:\n\n"Who wrote Genesis?"\n\nor\n\n"Who included it into the bible"\n\n"If man decided which books to include, what makes you think it was influenced by God?"...etc, etc.\n\nOne of two things will happen, either you'll teach or you'll learn.  I've learned several things I did not know by questioning instead of stating what I believe to be true.  I've also had people re-evaluate their own beliefs.

for advanced math try\n\nhttp://mathworld.wolfram.com/\n\nif you are looking for seventh grade books this may be too much

http://www.archive.org/details/PracticalOrganicChemistry\n\n For homeschooling why would you want an out of date book?  A site like this might be more useful.  \n\nhttp://www.cem.msu.edu/~reusch/VirtTxtJml/intro1.htm

i use princeton, barron, and kaplan. they're pretty good.

It'd help if we knew what level of course you'll be taking.\n\nI enjoyed Walter Rudin's "Real and Complex Analysis".\n\nAdvanced math books are staggeringly expensive; I just looked at Amazon and they want $150 for Rudin's book.  Dover publishing has the least expensive books, and they tend to be the classics in the field, too.  Or maybe you should just buy whatever book you'll be using in the autumn, since you'll have to get it anyway.

Get a book from your library on applied math.\n\nInternate must be full of such applictions.

About 15 years ago, I needed to very quickly brush up on my math skills for a job interview.  In High School, I always did fine in math class, but I realized I had forgotten a lot.  I bought a book (yellow cover) for people getting their GED.  No joke.  The book was so simple and concise, that in about 2 days, I had completely reviewed all the High School math.  It was that easy.\n(P.S.  After taking the math test, the job interviewer remarked, "We're really not supposed to tell you your exact results, but I have to say that in all the years I've been administering this test, no one has ever scored this high!"\n\n.... all that, for just a couple day's review... with a GED book.

YES!!! "Biblical Mathematics"!!! \nAWESOME AND STAYS AWAY FROM NUMEROLOGY!!\n\nI had it but gave it to a minister who teaches College Physics. He was ecstatic! \n\nMine also came with a cassette so you could listen to it as well! \n\nHow awesome! God just brought that book to my mind today, making me feel as though I should get another one and read it again...and now you ask this? Hmmmmm

Don't buy the books that's ridiculous.  There's tons of sites out there that will give you the format for free.  Try a couple I've listed under sources.
