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 '''''Sets for Mathematics''''' by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lawvere F. William Lawvere] uses categorical algebra to introduce set theory.
 
Reading the Foreword and the Interlude is recommended for those unfamiliar with reading math texts.
