Find a well-regarded college math curriculum and read the textbooks?
Can you recommend an approach to learn high level math on one's own? Any particular books that are good for that purpose?
What are the best ways for a non-genius, normal person to learn advanced mathematics?
Yes there are definitely courses that would help with the kind of thing you're talking about. Probably the most accessible would be Khan Academy. That will explain all the "whys" of foundational stuff.Another approach that I recommend to people all the time is the Open University. Enrolling in a course is obviously a pretty big deal because they're expensive, but you can usually find used copies of the books on eBay etc. I'd recommend MST124 for the kind of stuff you&
in your case i would suggest khan academy - https://www.khanacademy.org/math

>Since I only had the opportunity to finish my high school diploma and this was several years ago I wonder if you could have any suggestion to brush my math knowledge up in order to properly understand the examples of these books.You should really consider taking a few community college math courses if you're serious. Math is extremely difficult to learn on your own. Not only because of not knowing what you don't know, but because it requires intense effort and repetition which i
I post this a lot when people ask similar questions: get the Open University books (such as MST124, MST125, M208). They're not cheap but they are designed to teach undergraduate level mathematics without a teacher and they work!
Pretty sure a lot of people in the comments have already suggested helpful online resources however I'd recommend you start right where you left from; your mid/high school textbooks. I'm kind of old-school and I think a pencil and paper approach w/o online distractions is how you really get closer to understanding math.Of course you can use various tools (e.g. Wolfram Mathematica) for any fancy visualizations and maybe some tedious calculations. Just don't rely too mu
Instead of just watching lectures, I'd suggest taking one of the many available math courses:Coursera (23 courses) https://www.coursera.org/courses?orderby=upcoming&lngs=en&ca...Udacity (5 courses) https://www.udacity.com/coursesedX (10 courses) <a href="https://www.edx.org/course-
