Thread: Can anybody recommend some good undergraduate math textbooks?

I am interested in self teaching myself some subjects. I need

1) Linear Algebra /Matrix math
2) Differential Equations
3) Abstract Algebra

I've already done some work and dabbled in all of these, but I need a firm grounding, and books that will give that. Since I'm self-teaching, a big plus one for any books attached to free online courses. Also a good calc review/reference book would also be good if you know one.

Thanks any input!

For abstract algebra, you can try Rings, Fields and Groups: An Introduction to Abstract Algebra by R.B.J.T. Allenby. It’s fairly comprehensive in the range of topics it covers. As for linear algebra or differential equations, sorry I can’t be of much help to you – it’s been a while since my days at uni and I just can’t remember the details of the textbooks I used then.

i know of a few books
An intro to linear algebra by Robert Beezer (talks alot)
an intro ... by kennith kuttler
linear algebra and its applications by David C Lay
linear algebra ... by Gilbert Strang
one on CC fairly short
linear algebra in 25 lectures by Tom Denton and Andrew Waldronetc

Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry by Addison Wesley is a good start.
