This Math textbooks page is for compiling a list of textbooks for mathematics -- not problem books, contest books, or general interest books. See math books for more titles.
Before adding any books to this page, please review the how to link books page.
Contents
Math textbooks by subject
Levels of reading and math ability are loosely defined as follows:
- Elementary is for elementary school students up through possibly early middle school.
- Getting Started is recommended for students grades 6 to 9.
- Intermediate is recommended for students grades 9 to 12.
- Collegiate is recommended for college and university students.
Algebra
Getting Started
- Art of Problem Solving is currently designing an Introductory Algebra textbook.
- Algebra I: An Integrated Approach
Intermediate
- Art of Problem Solving is currently designing an Intermediate Algebra textbook.
- Algebra and Trigonometry by Michael Sullivan.
Calculus
High School
- Calculus by Michael Spivak. Top students swear by this book.
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to Calculus by Michael Spivak.
- AP Calculus Problems and Solutions Part II AB and BC -- A fantastic resource for students mastering the material required for the AP exam.
