I completed my high school recently. Throughout my middle and high school years math was a subject I feared and avoided. So I never learned any math throughout that period. I just memorized what I had to and passed the exams. Now that I have some time, I would like to learn mathematics from the very basics to college level math.

I want to truly understand math. But I don’t know where to start this journey.

  • I wish I had started out by reading some history of math books. – Asinomás Sep 19 '20 at 01:43
  • I'm not sure if this would be something of interest to you or not but I might recommend Morris Kline's Mathematics for the Nonmathematician. Although it's target audience might be more for liberal arts students, I found it to be a good reference for helping me explain mathematical concepts easier to students when I worked as a tutor in college. Plus it's hard to argue the price. – WaveX Sep 19 '20 at 01:50

    You don't have to commit to any particular book. Look at a lot of books and see which ones connect with you. I haven't read or looked at this book, but I've heard that Gelfand's book Algebra is a good book on high school algebra. – littleO Sep 19 '20 at 01:53

    Suggestion: Basic Mathematics, by Lang. – Novice Sep 19 '20 at 02:20
  • You should start with Euclid's Elements. https://archive.org/details/tayloreuclid00euclrich/page/n29/mode/2up –  Sep 19 '20 at 02:23
