The textbook '''''Basic Mathematics''''' by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serge_Lang Serge Lang] provides an overview of mathematical topics usually encountered through the end of high school/secondary school, specifically arithmetic, algebra, trigonometry, logic, and geometry. It serves as a solid review no matter how far along one may be in their studies, be it just beginning or returning to strengthen one's foundations.


The textbook [https://simeioseismathimatikwn.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/apostol-calculusi.pdf '''''Calculus'''''] by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_M._Apostol Tom Apostol] introduces calculus. It provides a rigorous treatment of theory and application, in addition to the historical context of its topics. It should be noted that there is a [https://archive.org/details/calculus-tom-m.-apostol-calculus-volume-2-2nd-edition-proper-2-1975-wiley-sons-libgen.lc/Apostol%20T.%20M.%20-%20Calculus%20vol%20II%20%281967%29/ second volume], not listed here, which covers multivariable topics and applications to subjects such as probability.
Reading the Foreword and the Interlude is recommended for those unfamiliar with reading math texts.
