Thanks for all the help studiot Yes , the syllabus is from a lot of subjects . It was very difficult finding the proper books to learn all these

@studiot , Thanks for the Wolfram Alpha screenshot . The openstax book , intermediate algebra is a good book to learn algebra and all the factoring techniques . I can manage to learn some algebra too from that book , But the examination syllabus is a bit weird because it has questions from these which i am not that familiar with , Percentages Average Ratio and Proportion Profit and Loss Simple Interest Compound Interest Partnership Mixtures (or) Alligations Problems on Ages Time and Work Pipes and Cisterns Time and Distance Problems on Trains Boats and Streams Clocks Calendars Mensuration - 2D Mensuration - 3D I am still looking for a book to learn the last part OK , got that too Quantitative Aptitude and Reasoning - R. V. Praveen now that i have everything organized in my head properly , i can start practicing from all the above . Thanks for all the help studiot

@studiot , I was trying to prepare for a state government test and its full of quantitative aptitude questions , otherwise i would not have given this much importance to all these basic mathematics problems . Also thanks for explaining the steps involved in factorization of numbers . Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot for the reply studiot , I have one question regarding finding the prime factorization of numbers Which method do we use mostly to find the prime factorization of numbers ? by Listing factors by factor tree by short division ? I am planning to practice from example questions from tomorrow on wards . Thanks

Narrowed it down this much , there was no one book with all of these little basics in it I collected notes from many books and wrote it down like this , i am a little happy now

@ahmet , Yes , i am only doing mathematics daily for half an hour or 1 hour . The mathematics i am trying to practice is spread out in many webpages of the mah-only-math website . so it takes some time to organize things in my mind to practice . Only trying to make small small steps forward . openstax intermediate algebra is a good algebra book , i will let you know when i begin going through that book . first i have to be get very familiar with the basic mathematics before i begin that . @studiot Thanks , Yes i will ask if i have more questions .

@tylers100 Yes , i know there are more people struggling with basic mathematics and algebra i think it is because the materials are spread out in different class text books and you can easily get fed up when you cannot find everything in one place . i tried to read a lot of basic mathematics books online , there was 2 problems . 1, there is not enough content in it 2,some books are cluttered with pictures instead of good proper content It can be very frustrating to learn from books like those . I think this website www.math-only-math.com is one of the best to learn elementary mathematics . Yes , i must improve this within a 3 month or 6 month time otherwise i wont be able to attend some tests . Let me see how much i can improve . Today i learned about different types of numbers to different types of fractions with the help of that website . Everything is here , i started here https://www.math-only-math.com/5th-grade-math-problems.html Thanks for the reply

Thanks studiot , Finding the proper books to learn the basics was the hardest part . I like the math-only-math website . Everything is explained in simple English Now at least i know where to look and study these . Yes , i am only going to make small small steps forward Let me see where i can reach in 2 or 3 months if i study a little everyday I am going to start from here , today itself https://www.math-only-math.com/5th-grade-math-problems.html i have a 4 year old daughter ,so i can only find time to study after she goes to sleep . That would be at 11 or before 11'30 I have bought some new diaries so that i can write down and practice in it . I will begin this today itself ,its almost 10.30 PM here

Good Basic mathematics or Pre-algebra books were hard to find Then i found some good materials here , Pre-Algebra https://www.math-only-math.com/ Algebra https://nios.ac.in/online-course-material/secondary-courses/Mathematics-(211)-Syllabus.aspx I am planning to spent at least 1 hour daily to learn Basic mathematics and Algebra I am trying to prepare for a test , that is why i wanted to learn all these from the beginning Now i need to find me some energy and motivation to sit and practice these books daily for at least 1 hour I am planning to study after 11 at night everyday , since i have to work till evening 6:30 everyday Thanks

This is a good link to learn quantitative aptitude questions . https://en.calameo.com/read/0049612414feacdae89c8

So this is the type of questions in it Can anyone recommend some good books to study these ?

Why would a person who is an atheist not believe in religion ? Maybe there is not enough proof of the work of god in any of the religions

I was looking at some preparatory materials for a state government test Its syllabus are full of quantitative aptitude questions . I am not familiar with questions like those Am i supposed to know the shortcut methods of all these ?

Hello studiot , Sorry for the late reply . I was going through some books looking for some good explanations and practice problems And i found a good book for free . https://resources.saylor.org/wwwresources/archived/site/textbooks/Elementary Algebra.pdf Chapter 1.2 in it is about 1.2 Adding and Subtracting Integers Addition of numbers with like signs , positive number + positive number = positive number negative number + negative number = negative number Addition of numbers with unlike signs , The sign of the result is the same as the sign of the number with the greatest distance from the origin. That was very helpful . There is also practice problems in that book . That book is really good for basic mathematics and elementary algebra .

@studiot Thanks a lot for the reply . I am trying to learn basic mathematics with the help of some books i have I have a pdf copy of this book called , The Humongous Book of Algebra Problems . i have been going through it for the last few days If i have more questions i will come back here and ask

Hello Col Not Colin , After searching for hours , i finally found a pdf which is easier to understand https://www.collin.edu/studentresources/caa/Operations with Signed Numbers.pdf Thanks @ALine , I like to read e-book or books instead of watching videos . I wear glasses so it is sometimes difficult to watch video tutorials . Anyway i finally found what i was looking for . Thanks

I want to refresh some basic mathematics and i have difficulty getting some good notes on signed numbers Can anyone suggest me some good books to learn basic mathematics especially about signed numbers . Thanks
