Pls what are the recommended maths books?

1) Algebra and Trigonometry by Michael Sullivan.
2) Geometry by Ron Larson, Laurie Boswells and Lee Stiff.
3) Calculus by Ron Larson, Bruce Edwards and Hostetler.
4) Linear Algebra and it's Applications by Gilbert Strangs.

Assume you know nothing about maths and read these books in the order I have listed.

budaatum:
Don't take buda word for it jnr, but you are brainless already.


On Nairaland we make it our "damn business". Its why we are on a forum and not just talking to the wall.


Of course you "have the right to argue nonsense" if you chose to. And we have the right to tell you you are arguing nonsense and we choose to.


Are you just realising that buda pokes nose? I thought it was obvious I must have been assuming!

buda super aproko

It means buda don't mind buda business and pokes nose in jnr's!

You knowing buda now.


jnr, ten of you would not have the might to ignore buda not even one billion of you can ignore aproko poke jnr nose buda!

Try, though. Try really hard.

One thing I have learnt from you is the maturity to avoid resorting to insult and aggression during arguments/discussions no matter what. You simply make your point with utmost civility and leave it at that. I have now followed in your footstep.

jesusjnr:
Otem you're really something else, for just to simply accept that your expression contradicts itself, you went to start translating what someone didn't send you to do.

OK I know what to do. Let me call others to come and give their opinion about what you said there.

Please johnydon22 and lordreed come and help us out here, and let us know what you think about the bolded.

What OtemAtum meant is as long as he is still alive, his mission isn't complete. When he dies, his mission is completed.

Only if you knew my waec and jamb results when I entered school. I repeat school is the greatest scam in our century. I dont need a school to be successful in life. With school we are trained for jobs.
Whatever sha. You have the freedom to decide what you want for your life.

School is not a scam. Because you did la cram la pour and got good results don't mean you know book and doesn't mean school is a scam. Work on yourself. You had better take your studies seriously and stop whining. Olodo.

Portugal winning the euros is one of the upset in footballol just like Greece won in 2004...Portugal weren't the best team in Euro 16 tournament as you want everybody to believe, they qualified from the group stage as best loser.

I never said Portugal were the best. I even made it clear in a previous that France outplayed Portugal. My best teams were France and Germany, followed by Italy. The crux of the matter is whether Ronaldo contributed significantly to Portugal's success or not. I also made it clear that Portugal qualified as best losers. Read my arguments.

amaben2020:
Hope you've learnt your lesson, you really didn't make sense quitting in the first place, people leave school for better things, not photography

Arrogance and naivety were his problem. It backfired on him that's why he is here with his sob story. Had he become Mark Zuckerberg through his business, he would have looked down on his classmates and thought he is some smart dude. After that he would have started writing books properly titled How to Make it in Life and he would have been screaming "there is no excuse for failure."

I just love it when life slaps sense into people's head, especially arrogant and ignorant folks.

HeavenShield:
Go and celebrate with your friends..your story is already a motivation..and maybe, that set was not your destiny..

There is nothing like destiny, your life is how you shape it. Op could have been with his mates but he bleeped up. He can still put it all behind and make up for it. His life might still end up successful or unsuccessful. He should work hard and get lucky.

bluefilm:
My friend will you shut up there!?

In case you haven't realized it, this life is a gamble.

You took a gamble and it didn't pan out well and you are now here talking rubbish.

Had it been you became the next Mark Zuckerberg of photography, I'm so certain, you will be here mocking your classmates for choosing academics over business.

But since it didn't pan out well for you, you are here now doing useless ''had I known''

Abeg comot dia jare make I see front.

Nonsense.

Don't mind them him. I hope his experience has taught him a lesson. I am sure, then, he was among those shouting "start something", "become self employed", "no excuse for failure", "you have two hands and legs, what's your excuse?" etc. each time a jobless graduate complained about unemployment and difficulty. He thought it was that easy. To demonstrate his arrogance, here is a excerpt from his op

...I remember telling her that 'School na scam, if I do business, I go make am quicker'. She always told me and my siblings that we weren't cut out for business life. Still I ventured into photography...

LMAO . Op thought he knew better than his mum and he thought that he could beat life and count millions with photography, not oil and gas or export business but photography. All the photographers before him, were they sleeping?

bojbest:
Hahahaha. You that you have studied, what can you show for the 4-5yrs you’ve spent on campus.
Guys wet no even go school set Dey make millions from freelancing. Abel who is fooling who in nigeria

If it is the millions you want, then you have no business being in school.

Mumu.

Bro School na scam. I’m currently studying pharmacy and I’ve repeated twice. My mates are in their final year. I’m happy I’m not in final year because after school what next? Now that’s the question I’m asking myself.
My point, don’t look at peoples time to set yours. Dey your lane

Keep f00ling yourself. Better take your studies seriously.

ityP:
I was considering this o. My attire is neatly ironed inside my wardrobe. I'm still apprehensive about going tho. And I can't really call many of them friends. Many started looking down on me or shunning me outrightly. I don't blame them, I guess it's a thing of "Bad energy, stay far away". Just one or two who still chat with and encourage me.

Trust me, it's not because they perceive you as bad energy. They are just mean and up in their high horse. This is another lesson: Friends stay when the grass is green but disappear when times are hard. Stop making excuses for sh1tty people. Mean, arrogant, condescending and psychopathic individuals exist. People around you show their true color when things are hard.

What excuse do they have not to be nice to you? Can't they just say "hi" and respond to your greetings and still go their way. The few who are nice to you, do they have two heads? What's the excuse of those sh1tty folks really? As life is teaching you, be learning — it shows you are smart.

it's better late than never, by the time you graduate you will notice that some of them are still having issues or aren't employed yet.

so am happy you returned back to school.

is this why someone should be happy? People's failure should make you happy and peaceful with your poor choices?

Come on.

winning penalty in a shootout

When he lost penalty in the shoot-out against Chelsea in UCL 2008 final, does that make him less of a hero

No, because his teammates still went ahead to ensure the victory and John Terry slip happened...

Watch your back when you are defending Cris....


Messi lost those games because his teammates failed to convert their penalties(like Ronaldo teammates in Man united did) after he missed his own penalty...

I bet you didn't watch 2015 shoot-out, because out of all Argentina players that played, only Messi scored his penalty... .
You know why Messi rejected the 2015 Best player award

He was pissed with his ineffectual teammates


Hate responsibly.. ..

Lol. Did Ronaldo ask the Argentine team mates not to step up? GOAT that can't step up when his team needs him, is that one GOAT? Unlike Messi, Ronaldo steps up when no one is coming to the party. When no one is coming to party, Messi still sleeps. Oga, make I go eat. See you later.

ityP:
Very true

I hope your experience has taught you a lesson. I am sure, then, you were among those shouting "start something", "become self employed", "no excuse for failure", "you have two hands and legs, what's your excuse?" etc. each time a jobless graduate complained about unemployment and difficulty. You thought it was that easy.

Anyway, don't be sad. Focus on your degree. Life has shown you that it not easy so start preparing for life after school. Make the most of your degree and next time, don't ignorantly and arrogantly gamble on your opportunities. It is well.

A friend of mine did almost the same thing to himself.

We go admitted to Civil Engineering, we both came 2nd list and it was far into the semester. We never did further maths but the first thing i saw in a lecture was integration. I had a further maths text book given to me as the best maths student in my o levels. It didn't help us much. That 1st semester i had 5 carry overs and my friend had 3. He had a better gpa.

The problem was he was a local champion. His mother prides herself that her son is the most intelligent of all neighborhood boys. That got to his head, he told himself that 3 carry overs and under 2.0 gpa was beneath him. There was no talking to this guy, he dropped out and went back home saying he will rewrite jamb and return next year.

I was also considering leaving especially that my second choice admitted me for electrical engineering. I couldn't ask my parents for fresh fees, besides, that part of physics wasnt my strong area. I knew civil was my calling and will not do well with Electrical. I started working to increase my cgpa. From then, it was steady rising.

My friend didn't get admission until 4 yrs later, he got physics. I was at 500l civil engineering when he came as 100l physics. Now, what he has is inferiority complex whenever we see.

Your friend's story is a sad one. His mum didn't help in his psychological development as she made him detached from reality and it really affected him. He could have persisted if only he knew. Seems you guys had a poor foundation of maths. The further maths textbook used in secondary school is just parking all the knowledge like sardines. It's wururu to the answer and doesn't give you a deep understanding of the concepts. Besides, they are not the standard of A level neither do they make it easy for you to follow up A level maths.

Hope you are now good in maths? I can recommend good textbooks. Hope you are treating your friend nicely? Lift him up and don't abandon him. His mum, unwillingly, let him down.

Wicked couples.

If Eder did not perform well when Ronaldo was a handicap, all those defence you wrote up there is just to score cheap points...

Eder scored the most important goal in the history of Portugal national team football!!!

This is not the first time a player will help Portugal to the final, Figo did it too...

But Eder delivered the trophy when Ronaldo was destroyed by injury...

Anytime you praise Origi for Liverpool always remember Eder...

He delivered the trophy to the Portugal national team...


Just stop misinforming the Public...


Ronaldo was a 2019 Firmino and a 2018 Salah in the Euro 2016 final...

Eder is a Portugal Legend because of that 1 goal.. .

Higuain will never be celebrated like Portugal celebrate Eder!!!

Oga. By your logic, Messi is not a hero of 2015 ucl because if not for Neymar, Suarez and Rakitic, Messi would not have won the 2015 ucl.

Besides, did Ronaldo send Higuain not to score? What's Messi's excuse for not scoring in the world Cup final? They tied his legs? He didn't want the trophy? Ronaldo contributed and bagged 2 International trophies. He came when no one could step up. Ronaldo is a portuguese legend.

Messi only knows how to miss penalties, cost his national team two finals and then go into early retirement because he cannot stand his failure. Has Ronaldo ever done that? Do you know that against Chelsea, Messi missed a crucial penalty that could have sent Barcelona to the final in the 2012 ucl semi final second leg at the camp nou.

Ronaldo scored the winning penalty in quarterfinals against England in the 2006 World Cup. Ronaldo scored the winning penalties against Atletico Madrid in the 2016 ucl final and 2019 ucl quarterfinals. He also scored the winning penalty against Juventus in the 2018 ucl quarterfinals. Why didn't Messi score his crucial penalties? Why was he useless in the 2014 World Cup? Injury is a good excuse as it is not Ronaldo's fault that he got injured. Fact!!!

On a serious note, how far? Long time. I left Nairaland for a while. I thought I would never come back but I did.

eni4real:
In Euro 2016, Ronaldo scored against just 2 teams. Hungary and Wales. He scored 3 goals
Ronaldo was useless in the group stage. In fact, he missed a penalty against Iceland!

Messi missed a penalty against the same Iceland in the 2018 World Cup. Ronaldo scored two goals in the group stages to help Portugal advance.

Nani carried the team scoring 3 goals in the group stage!!!

Liar. Nani scored twice in the group stage. Nani did not carry anybody. Say the way you are saying a player carried a team because he scored goals but when we attack Messi for not scoring and carrying Argentina, you will scream "but football is a game of eleven players." Hypocrite.

Renato Sanchez was the Man of theatch against Croatia...

If he was the man of the match, does it mean Ronaldo didn't contribute?

Ronaldo was only good against Hungary and Wales... Messi was only good in the group stage of the world cup.

After that he became a handicap.... .

He was injured. Humans get injured.

Eder delivered Portugal from the toughest opponent of the Euro 2016!!!!

Argentine players, apart from Messi, helped Argentina to the final against tough opponents.

Ronaldo won the Euro by performing well against Hungary and Wales only.

Messi got the finals of the world cup by performing well in the group stages. Even the MVP he won was controversial. Even Maradona said Messi didn't deserve the MVP. Better contenders were Arjen Robben, Van Persie and Thomas Muller, James Rodriguez and Miroslav Klose. That's a fact.

Eder's single goal is greater than all goals of Ronaldo combined for Portugal!!!!
Stop misinforming the Public

Lol. Did Messi score in world Cup knock out stage? Did he score in 2015 ucl final and ucl semi finals second leg? Using your logic, all goals scored by his corresponding team mates are greater than the goals he scored in those tournaments.

Because Eder won the Euro 2016 (Ronaldo had great contributions but became handicapped when it matter most)

I like how Messi always show up it matters, most especially at Anfield(2019) and against Roma(2018), Atletico Madrid(2016) and against Juventus (2017). All of a sudden, you are giving Eder, who rearly played, all the credit because you want to pull down Ronaldo yet when Ronaldo fans give Ronaldo all the credit or lambast Messi for poor performances you scream "football is a game of eleven players on each side. Ronaldo was helped. Messi can't do it alone." Hypocrite.
You don't remember that football is a game of eleven players on each side when giving Messi credit for Argentina making it to the world Cup or any success of Argentina or Barcelona.
Besides stop trying to implie that it's Ronaldo's fault that he got injured. Please, don't stoop so low. I know you want to pull Ronaldo down but don't stoop so low?

Bernaldo Silva win the UEFA nations League (Bernaldo Silva is the best player of the tournament)

Ronaldo is merely a collector. I praise the Coach and the whole team...

Switzerland were better than Portugal during that semi final but Ronaldo's hattrick helped them. Portugal were almost knocked out by Hungary in Euro 2016 but Ronaldo's two goals helped them. How is Ronaldo a mere collector. Eder rearly played for Portugal but you gave him all the credit. Hypocrite.

Good day.

This guy is not someone you will have a secret chat with — he will expose everything.

Why didn't Regina Daniels say "anything I do for him, I do it out of love" Why the other way round?

Anyway, let people live their lives in peace.

Ryan03:
Mgtow have not been hijacked?

Our narrative, which I gave in a screenshot to funmisticquee.n, remains the same. No toxic and parallel narrative is running within the movement?

That means all the hate i read from its members here on nl are true about the movement?

Can you show me this hate? MGTOW men in western and other developed and progressive societies are avoiding marriage and relationships because women are given the power to ruin their lives. Why take the risk?

An Alpha male is purpose to be a man that have his shit together, a man with confidence and knows how to take responsibility for his actions (also focuses on self improvement and defines himself. He doesn't need women and men validation) . But what do i get here? Men who believe insulting women is the way to show they are men, men who nag (one quality i hate in a woman) over everything (especially women issue), just really [/b]

@bold
Have you ever seen a nairalander that claims he is an alpha male and yet believes insulting women is the way to show he is a man and nags over everything? Really? Show me such nairalander? I dare you. It seems you are a liar as well.

naptu2:
This World Cup reminds me of USA '94. The best 3rd placed teams also progressed to the knockout stage at USA '94, but more importantly, there were also rule changes ahead of USA '94.


Marco Van Basten was one of my favourite strikers in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He scored great goals for AC Milan and Holland and he won the 1989 and 1990 European Cup titles with Milan.

However, Italian football had the hardest tackling defenders back then and their tackles took a toll on Van Basten. He repeatedly suffered ankle injuries. Then, in the final of the 1993 European Cup/Champions League, Basile Boli made a viscious tackle on Van Basten and that tackle practically ended his career.

FIFA were unhappy that Van Basten would not play in the 1994 World Cup and they therefore banned tackles from behind (just before the World Cup). Any tackle from behind would result in a red card.

Van Basten was such a great player. Defenders in those days were brutal beasts but the Italian defenders were more brutal beasts and notorious. I wonder how Maradona conquered them at Napoli. Neymar, Messi and Ronaldo may have had more injuries if they played then,especially Neymar.

Ryan03:
No, being a feminist is not a bad thing, some elements have decided to abuse it same with mgtow. I'm not against any but there are some things i just Cant accept like the example of my woman changing tyres. The Nairaland version of Mgtow is hatred for women

It's true that the feminist group have been hijacked by entitled, stupid and easily offended demons. Where have the MGTOW movement been hijacked? Our ideas still remain the same. In fact, the MGTOW movement has been cruelly shamed that people just join except they've properly reasoned and understood what the MGTOW movement is all about.


As I ask, What do you understand by the term "ALPHA MALE"? You have been shaming the so called NL alpha males, answer my question and let's see if you know what you have been typing.

Ryan03:
Haven't you said such or similar notions about feminists?

Show me what I have said about feminists. Let's start from there.

funmisticqueen:
you still prove nothing. And i am not a liar, that i disagree with you doesn't make me a feminist,

Lol. I never said you were a feminist. You are a liar. Despite listing some of the sound reasons why the MGTOW movement is catching on, you still insisted and lied that

funmisticqueen:
i listened for years,i read posts on NL, i read on reddit and quora, I finally realised that their point of view was narcissistic, toxic and some just reeked of victim mentality...

Give my screenshots and the nonsense you are saying all over this thread, did you really listen? Why lie that you listened? Perhaps you did listen but couldn't grab or you preferred to live in denial.
How can you brand our view point narcissistic, toxic and reeking of victim mentality if you read what I showed? Where are these traits of narcissism, toxicity and self victimisation in that write up? You are a liar!

As if that wasn't, you went ahead, in that same post, with this shaming tactic and misrepresentation "...The simple truth is that men are not used to women in power and now want to cry victim. It will only be a matter of time that mgtow will be just as bitter as the feminists they hate so much.''

To what end really? Shaming tactics are getting outdated, it's 2019, c'mon. I know you will still keep saying those nonsense despite reminding you of our conversation.

and you just proved that i have the power to preoccupy your thoughts for you to have screenshot that discussion after how.many months. You my friend need to change your disposition and outlook to life.

Are you seriously shaming me or are you just simply on your high horse? If you call having a good memory of our past conversation the power to preoccupy my thoughts then I am really sorry for you.

Anyway, we all need to keep changing and improving our view of life as need be.

Any individual, group or ideology that defies freedom of speech and expression should be persistently bashed and monitored.

pcguru1:
MGTOW didn't create the fear, MGTOW is only a response to the fear already existing, it's just a platform meant to express certain views, prob the incels have found their way into the group, just as the same way feminists are mistaken for radical feminist and 3rd wave feminist.

Thank you. The narrative that mgtow men are damaged, frustrated in forming relationships and are maggots of the society is a lie that ignorant or dishonest people tell and spread. Given the availability of the Internet and social media platforms where people can share their views, I ignore those who spew these nonsense against MGTOW. Let them do their research or remain ignorant.

Ryan03:
Yet men try to force their own views on women and make them feel bad for being feminists and they want women to accept the Alpha male Nonsense? What a joke, its live and lets live, not until men learn to understand that women also have rights to association, they shouldn't expect to be accepted either

Being a feminist, as we them now, is a bad thing. No one, I repeat no one, is trying to enforce the idea of alpha male on any woman. Do you even know how silly this accusation sounds?

Let me ask you, who is a alpha male? Let's start from there.

funmisticqueen:

Stop lying to pansophist. You are a shameless liar and you are living in denial. Your dishonesty is baffling. On a thread created by a nairalander, you misrepresented the MGTOW movement and I corrected you with facts. That wasn't enough for you as you feigned ignorance and persisted in shaming and misrepresenting MGTOW guys in subsequent posts. I could have argued with lilwetdick but I know from our previous clashes that he is intellectually immature and irremediably stupid so I ignored him.

Here are screenshots of our conversation in which I gave you some of the reasons why men choose MGTOW:

Trash all through!
It's quite difficult to tackle this much trash especially when it's in a single comment!

He didn't write trash. Just say you can't counter anymore. Messi was no where to be found in the knock out stages yet Messi fans keep screaming "he took them to the world cup finals." In Euro 2016, Ronaldo helped Portugal qualify by scoring great goals and scored in the knock out stages but yet Messi fans scream "he didn't contribute anything. Portugal won without him."

In the 2018 ucl, Ronaldo scored in both groups stage and knock out stage yet you Messi fans screamed similar thing. You guys are hypocrites.

Ronaldo is the GOAT.
