Ask HN: Books of Problem Sets
2 points by _spoonman on June 16, 2016 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Hi all,

Considering going through some MOOC's to brush up on and learn some new math. One thing I'm looking for are books containing tons of problem sets so I can practice (maybe ones with answers in the back). Are textbooks my only option here?



A lot of times you can find old problem sets, quizzes and tests on the course websites for past sections of courses. Just google something like

https://www.google.com/search?q="linear+algebra"+problems+si...

https://www.google.com/search?num=50&newwindow=1&q=calculus+...

https://www.google.com/search?num=50&newwindow=1&q=calculus+...

or variations on that theme. There's a ton of stuff out there.

If you want a print book, check the various "Schaums Outlines" books, or books in the "For Dummies" series with "Workbook" in the title (ex, "Calculus Workbook for Dummies", etc.) There's also the "Problem Solvers" books and those "Humongous Book of X" books. For example:

https://www.amazon.com/Schaums-Solved-Problems-Calculus-Outl...

https://www.amazon.com/Humongous-Book-Calculus-Problems/dp/1...

https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Workbook-Dummies-Mark-Ryan/d...

https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Problem-Solver-Solvers-Solut...

and so on...


Schaum's. Now that you mentioned it I think someone on HN was talking about that but couldn't for the life of me remember. Thanks for the feedback.


Anytime.
