Re: A good self-study book

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a book, which takes you right from the beginning -
from the simplest math - proofs, theorems, etc - to those more
complicated ones. In other words, I'm looking for a good self-study
math book which is great for a college student of mathematics.

By the way, the book should cover mathematics fields within college
range.

Thank you very much,
Billiam

What have you already studied? Have you had a year of college-level
calculus yet? Usually that is where math study begins for college math
students. Afterwards, typically students take a semester of
multivariable calculus, a semester of linear algebra, and a semester
of differential equations, and then they move on to a year each of
analysis, algebra, and topology (often a semester of general topology,
and then a semester of something related--set theory, or geometric
topology, or differential geometry, or algebraic topology). That's
fairly standard for a bachelor's degree in math, although requirements
certainly vary from school to school.

I do not think any single book covers all these topics; but if you let
us know what you have already studied, maybe you can get some
suggestions about what books to look at next.
