Hi /sci/, poorfag from 3rd world shithole here. I finished high

Aren't 3rd world shitholes supposed to teach more maths in high school than in western countries? At least in the post-commies you get 2 years of caluclus and linear algebra, and a bit of abstract algebra

Anyway, check the sticky.

Where are you from?
Rudin is a good one for analysis, then read some book on stats.

>>9118209
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't calculus made easy a book written by a crackpot who does everything with infinitesimals?

I remember I struggled a bit in calculus 2 back in high school and I googled for "easy calculus", found that shit and then laughed my ass off.

EPSILON AND DELTAS MOTHERFUCKER
DO YOU SPEAK THEM?

>>9118340
And this book isn't calculus. Again, OP, do not read this book either. This is not what you are looking for.

I am not going to be here forever so OP listen to me. The books you get recommended here may be trolls but as a rule of thumb you should get the book and then see the index. If it has any chapters called "set theory" or "topology" then those books are NOT what you are looking for.

>>9118358
This >>9118340 book has a theory on which stats for ml is based. Maybe it isnt about calculus only, but it includes calculus.

>>9118340
I strongly advice against reading this book. It's best as a reference for student who already know basic analysis ( not calculus ), and is a bad introduction even for those who already know calculus. The best option for you is to do as I did, to learn basic calculus from khanacademy. The explanations are top-notch and you get a lot of practice with well-made exercises.
After calculus, to do machine learning, you also need to learn basic linear algebra. Khanacademy is also a good source for that. Then, you will not be totally lost when learning machine learning. You will be able to understand what the terms they use mean, and where to look up what you don't know.
So yeah, basically, if you don't know what an integral is and what a determinant is, use khanacademy.

>>9118367
You understand that this boom defines integral? So you dont need to know about it before reading. Khanakademy is a meme, 8 out of 10 times it gives "intuitions" instead of proofs.
If you will learn calculus this way, you will be able to understand only basic machine learning.

>>9118190
Put off calculus and read "Book of Proof"

>>9118369
Of course it's not a rigorous introduction, but it's a good beginning. Delving into baby Rudin right away will almost surely demotivate him and he's never going to touch a calculus book, and for that matter, a ML book again.

>>9118367
>basic analysis ( not calculus )
Whats the difference?

>>9118376
As I understand, basic calculus is only about intuition about derivatives and integrals, rules how to perform these operations and their basic applications. While analysis is all about proofs, making rigorous foundation of it all, convergence, point-set topology and whole bunch of other shit you wouldn't advice to learn for a person who finished high-school a year ago and just became proficient in algebra.

>>9118374
It can get a false impression about what actually happens in ml(which is statistics which is analysis).
I was there, at the end I had to learn analysis, it may be just waste of time to start from khanacademy. Maybe it is better to loose motivation earlier than later.

>>9118383
Person who finished hs usually goes to uni where he immediately starts analysis on the 1st semester.

>>9118386
Yeah but also person who finishes hs usually already has basic knowledge of calculus. OP pointed out he has not, which is why khanacademy is way better than a rigorous analysis book for him.

>>9118190
you will not ever get to a point where machine learning makes intuitive sense without multiple years of a math degree or graduate study in computer science.

either give up or seek a university

>3rd world shitholes supposed to teach more maths in high school than in western countries
There's spic countries where math education is even worse that in in america.

whats wrong with khan academy, why does no one mention it?

>>9120645
He asked for a book.

Besides, anyone who is self-teaching themselves calculus over the Internet will stumble upon Khan Academy at some point.

i know that feel, take this and be a good person

Just use free online resources like khan academy or edx

Yes, in public schools, math stops at basic algebra and SOMETIMES trigonometry. education is almost nonexistent.
Only the "top public schools" which vary from state to state have competitive level, and admission is tough as balls and have Math championships and such. those are at a pretty good level, but very bad and archaic education methods.

Pay for the wall.

Study statistics
