Ask HN: How to self-learn math?
recommended by 2 users | 2018 | 618 points by sidyapa | mathematics | original thread |

I have a new found appreciation and fascination for maths and would love to study maths from the bottoms ups. I'd love to know the paths I should take and books I should read.

EDIT1: If the question is very broad, it'd be much helpful to know how did you learn math? What courses you took, books you read.

EDIT2: My current proficiency level is pre-high school mathematics as I didn't pay much attention in high school, learning effectively nothing.

Sorry, you can't learn math by watching videos. It's like trying to get fit by reading books. I recommend the answers found in these threads https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17075261 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16562173 aj7's answer is on the mark imho.
