Self-Guided Study of Math Through Books - High School & College Level

Recent trends in graphic presentation lean toward photographs and short texts arranged in creative patterns of loosely associated topics.  The Schaums Outline Series, published by McGraw Hill, takes a different approach.  The topics within each book are presented in a logical sequence, clearly listed in the table of contents. Each section of the book is organized around a concise presentation of information followed by a large number of problems that allow you to apply what you've just learned.  The correct answers are also provided. 

Using a Schaums Outline Series for self-guided study is well suited to the hard-working confident student eager to develop objective math skills, or review and reinforce a field that is already somewhat familiar.  This approach might add a welcome structure and stimulus for high school and college students whose in-class math educations have been slowed down by the pandemic.

Schaums Outline Series are available on a wide range of topics, in paper and electronic formats.  I have found them particularly helpful for math.

Purchases can be made online directly through McGraw Hill or other online retail outlets, and be purchased new or second hand.  Here are some examples.
