Hey nerds, I’m planning on going back to school in a few years and want to smash the math proficiency test so I don’t have to spend years relearning things that will probably only take me a few months at most. What books do you all recommend to get me from college algebra to Calc II or III?
Bonus points for stats and physics recs, as well.


It is better, but because of going more fully into the mathematics immediately, it is a bit more advanced. My undergrad university used Griffiths for upper division QM and Shankar for Graduate level. Which is why I recommended it earlier for self training. But there is value in just immediately diving into the full mathematical framework right away.
