>>10491381>taking notesUse a mechanical pencil and paper, make sure you write just neat enough that you can refer to your notes for example questions, and add section numbers for your reference.
I also would recommend "Precalculus Mathematics in a Nutshell" by Simmons. In 120 pages it covers:
- Geometry (triangles, cones, spheres, cyliinders, circle, triangular pyramids, Ceva's theorem, some other stuff)
- Algebra (elementary stuff, polynomials, factoring, linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, functions (coordinates, lines, circles, parabolas, etc), logs, determinants, progressions and series, mathematical induction, and some other things
- trigonometric functions
It's quite a well-written book and there is zero fluff. It's also readable for someone without any mathematical backround. Each section has a number of questions, each with solutions (some fully explained). There is a "scanned" version floating around on libgen, and a used hardcover copy is around $5 on thriftbooks. The hardcover version is quite nice.
Someone using it as review could cover it in a weekend. If you work FT and are mostly new to the subject matter you could probably complete it in a week. Remember to do all of the excercises.
Hope this helps, good luck
