What books/channels/other resources could help me go from dropout retard to absolute master in 6 months?I'm going into a college course that will get me a degree in any major of my choosing (I chose maths). I could just coast through and get my retard points but I want to actually learn the subject.I want to at least get a good understanding of algebra before I start and preferably understand pre-calculus by then.

Tyler Wallace’s beginning and intermediate algebra could be a decent start
>>17055646This, get the shortest books like G. F. Simons' Precalculus and the one by S. P. Thompson: your priority should be getting into the course materials ASAP, way before the class begins
OP here.So far I've just been solving questions for an hour, then spending another hour on researching (Reading books, finding out why I got the wrong answer on said questions, etc), an hour break, then 30 minutes to go over what I researched (More questions) every day.The book recommendations are helpful even if I can't understand some (like Calculus Made Easy) yet.
>>17056309Your study methodology is lovely, OP. The reality is that if you just keep doing this ad infinitum then you'll be going far. Once you feel comfy with basic algebra, I recommend Stewart's Precalculus and later his Calculus textbook (the one that goes all the way through calc 1-3 and ends at ODE's; the calculus made easy book is probably better to do first). Stewart is good to absorb a wide range of concepts and you can move on to more rigorous stuff after.
>>17056312Thank you fren.I'll definitely write those books down for when I can properly use them.
>>17056316Disclaimer: Stewart's Calculus is PRIMARILY a classroom textbook, so you may feel like you need more elaboration from your other sources at times, but he was still a fantastic textbook writer and his textbooks are great for practice problems due to his focus on appealing to a broad STEM audience.
