Precalc, Cal 1,2,3, Discrete Mathematics, Prob and Stats, and Linear Algebra were taken in college. I'm overedumakated.

The reason I ask is because I'm looking for better (i.e., more readable) textbooks for advanced Calc and Linear Algebra. So far this is the best one I've found:

Stan Gibilisco, Bob Goodman, and Norman H. Crowhurst, Mastering Technical Mathematics

If you (or anyone else--pinging Professional Engineer!) have any recommendations on books that you've found helpful I'd be interested.

My sisters have just done college algebra and precalc at the college level, but then they're studying soft subjects like history. (just kidding - I rather envy them, but nooo, I have to be a computer person)

History's only soft if you don't apply the laws of Psychohistory :) I ended up with history as one of my majors, but I started in physics as a freshman--the paper I mentioned I published was on Werner Heisenberg's philosophy of science. My brother's the computer geek in the family, though--works in the computer department at Lucasfilm. He's better than me at computers because when our Dad got our first PC he hogged it all the time :)

I haven't got any math texts to recommend, I'm afraid. They were all pretty unreadable. A good professor for Calc 1 and 2 made all the difference for me.

Well, my sisters haven't even read "Foundation", so they wouldn't find that joke funny. I love history, and English; I'd major in one of the two if I weren't a major geekette. Probably I hogged our computer when I was little... Dad gave me my own when I was 11 (a used one of his) and the rest was history. Or Psychohistory.

I always liked that Heisenberg fella. Something bugs me about him. Can't be certain what it is, though. :-)

Something about watched pots and boiling.

Howdy howdy everybody!!! :-)

I survived another day. I think.
