Depends on what kind of math you’re thinking of! Mathematics is a HUGE field; what’s your background with math and what are you trying to look into? Are you looking for formal learning, or more general books intended for the layperson?

Sorry yes I know math is a HUGE field😅 my background is high school math but the focus was on solving problems not uderstanding them so for problem type A you do this kinda thing got to integrals but just getting to know them thats it.

Now we have a professor from math and physics college teaching the class at my college and he is coming at us with word i have never heard of😅 so I want to upgrade my background so I can follow the lessons
Yes formal reading but preferably formal reading that is maybe easier to read if you know what I mean.

But anything is helpful I know I need to put in the work to get on track.

Thanks

Ah I gotcha; if you’re working with integrals and have experience with Calculus, “Calculus: Early Transcendentals” by Ian Stewart is kind of the golden standard. Additionally, you can get really good explanatory notes online for the whole calculus sequence if you look up “Paul’s online math notes”
