Comment A Self-guided Path (Score 2, Informative) 609

For anyone seeking to master mathematics this is the one way I have found to start.

Google: On the study and difficulties of mathematics by Augustus De Morgan... you can download it for free from google!

after reading that title I suggest reading De Morgan's Trigonometry and double algebra title also available for free from google

Followed with elements of algebra also by Augustus De Morgan

followed with elements of trigonometry by De Morgan

I would also supplement this study with project MATHEMATICS! by Tom apostol

Then work through Tom Apostol's Calculus ( M.I.T. uses this text for their theory calculus courses) you can find this ebook

floating around on most bit torrent sites.

I would also suggest you have a look at Dover Publications, they have great reprints of math classics including some by De Morgon.

Truly, once you get the basics firmly in your head, the more advanced topics come much more readily.

I hope this short list can help others as much as it has help me in the self-study of mathematics.
