there's like 500 reviews on amazon, read some

>Will this book help me as I go deeper into math?
probably not, Oakley's an engineer not a mathematician

apptitude is genetic
however, doing more math will help you remember how teachers usually structure math problems and tackle them better

first is order of how you should solve something, second is foruma. third is just number fudging. and most people fall in the numbers part

I don't trust their reviews. I trust 4chan.

Can a math guy be good at engineering, but an engineer not be good at math? Is that possible?

>>8966645
The book is a bit gimmicky, it walks a lot around the same points. But its a fast read, and has covers some important topics about learning, that you maybe dont know. So then you can Google them and deepen your knowledge. I'd say buy, cant harm

why don't you read it and find out?

No.

No.

Nice digits man

What a waste of a post................
>Will it help?
No, it's bullshit.
>Is this book worth reading?
I don't know. Is bullshit worth reading to you?
>Will this book help me as I go deeper into math?
No. It is unverified anecdotal bullshit.

I could tell from the thumbnail that this book is written by a brainlet.

fuck, at least make a valid criticism.

mine is that she's an engineer opining on how math should be taught.

Seems pretty good too. Thank you for making me aware of this.

why would anyone do this?

>why would anyone do this?

Autistic sperglords forget what it's like to be a beginner and not have any context, motivation, or ability to handle difficult mathematical topics. Or they're trolls. Simple enough. Same kinds of people who think there's nothing to gain from somebody reading both Stewart and Spivak.

>Holy shit, pseud, kill yourself and spare us your cretinism.

You must be really triggered by the command to escape mediocre provincialism. You didn't even specify what TOPIC by Halmos you felt should be included. You have nothing to contribute but your pathetic virtue-signaling. Go back to stamp-collecting mathematical equations, Sheldon.

alright but what does this have to do with your memelist?

>>8966765
that's pretty stale meme you brainlet. Can't into new memes? just one picture in a folder? found the retard.

Nearly every single person who calls it a meme list is the same kind of person who believes that recommending Baby Rudin for a beginner is a good idea.

why do you keep bringing up these things irrelevant to your memelist? i'm not one of those people, it would still be a memelist if rudin was on it

Give me three non-autistic reasons why it's a memelist.

I read OPs book.

It's okay, I would read it if you have time and don't know anything about how memory and recall works. Some stuff in the book comes off like a meme even though its true. Such as memory working a lot like a file cabinet and remembering part of something can trigger memory of the sum of the parts.

The main takeaways from the book is a lot of stuff you've heard before. Mainly, study a little every day instead of cramming.

Understand what you're studying as a flow chart, so that you can pull things up as neccesary when you see information that triggers a memory, blah blah.

I would say; read this book, but spend no more than a few days on it, then buy math books in the areas you're weak in and read those carefully while DOING THE EXERCISES.

That's the only way to get good at math

>>8966969
nice list

>>8967129
I'll give you one:
>Lang

but it probably won't matter since you can't even go one post without yelling 'autist'

Only Lang's "Basic Mathematics" is a meme, which isn't even in this booklist, and all of his books are recommended by the MAA anyway. I think it's safe to say that your opinion can be discarded. You were griping for the sake of griping, just like an autist would be.

Do you even know what "virtue signalling" means?

WHERE IS MY HALMOS.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE MY HALMOS?

YOU HAVE TO HAVE MY HALMOS OR YOU'RE A PSEUD. DON'T ASK ME WHY!

EVERYBODY LOOK AT MY PATRICIAN BOOK CHOICE.

>>8967811
>and all of his books are recommended by the MAA anyway
what's the matter, can't come up with your own opinion?

I knew not to expect anything more, at least half this board are sheeple

>From simulating complex phenomenon on supercomputers to storing the coordinates needed in modern 3D printing, data is a huge and growing part of our world. A major tool to manipulate and study this data is linear algebra. This book introduces concepts of matrix algebra with an emphasis on application, particularly in the fields of computer graphics and data mining. Readers will learn to make an image transparent, compress an image and rotate a 3D wireframe model. In data mining, readers will use linear algebra to read zip codes on envelopes and encrypt sensitive information. The books details methods behind web search, utilized by such companies as Google, and algorithms for sports ranking which have been applied to creating brackets for March Madness and predict outcomes in FIFA World Cup soccer. The book can serve as its own resource or to supplement a course on linear algebra.

I need some lineear algebra lord knows I suck ass at it.
