Mathematics books

[svsnow]

a very random question....
but u know how you can get math books and such on the internet.,,, well i was wondering if any of u guys could find
a. calculus book (PDF)
b. trigonometry (PDF)
c. algebra 2 (PDF)

i know there are tons of college students and many books have online book with username login
if u could share that even...
it would be nice..

i ask because i need to study up on these subjects a lot for my engineering classes

Your campus library will also have a large selection of all 3 types.

Here's one to get you started if you don't like your library: Calc

sounds more like hes preping for calc 1 with some Algebra 2 reviews. You do use a pretty good amount of algebra solving Dif Eqs, Integrals and Differentiations in calc 1 and beyond. So I can see that being useful.

you're in college and don't know the difference between you're and your?


Most mistakes in Calculus/Diff Eq's...hell any math I would say are algebra based.

Plus it doesn't matter so much where you start, it's where you end.

I've used this site from time to time...not exactly what you're asking for

Hell, I have a BS in computer engineering and a minor in math. Linear algebra shows up all over the place. I doubt I could calculate the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors of a matrix by hand.

Further, knowing how to use mathematics and being familiar with formal definitions are two seperate issues. I have no problem solving physics problems involving vectors, but I really needed a refresher to teach myself tensor analysis.

wow that is a cocky remark!

Some people don't start to get on the ball till later in life and there isn't anything wrong with it. Not everyone knows what they want to be or focused enough during high school you know!.

For example, i was focused in High School but still only got up to Pre-Calc, know finishing my 3rd year of EE college i am the same classes with students that had calc1,calc2, and physics 1 in high school and i wouldn't say they are any smarter than I and vice versa. But i do lack gramma skill lol... never did like english classes much!

Amen! I just enrolled for Comp E and I was over half way done with a degree in MIS. (and I'm 22)

Agreed, I didn't start going to college until I was 28. Obviously, with 10 years having elapsed since high school, I needed to refresh. So I have taken Algebra, Trig, Pre-Calc, Calc I, and I am currently enrolled in Calc II.

The only problem is that as you get older, believe me, it becomes more difficult to learn math.

Edit: thanks for that link rocadelpunk, now I can print these out and bring them to the gym during my "treadmill time" Much easier than lugging around my notes.
