# Suggest me some textbooks please~!

I have so much trouble in these topics, especially algebra. (even though I'm lvl 5):

Algebra

• Linear algebra
• Proving inequalities (every single theorem)
• Polynomials, functional equations and analysis
• Trigonometry and complex numbers (from basic to advanced)
• Sequences and series

Combinatorics

• Pigeonhole principle (my brain is like a pigeon in this topic)
• Colouring techniques
• Generating functions

Geometry

• Trilinear coordinates and barycentric coordinates
• Triangle centers
• Special stuffs of a triangle (Pedal triangle, 9-point circle, etc)

Number Theory

• Modular arithmetic (especially Chinese Remainder Theorem)
• Theorems about prime numbers

I'm starting to do some coding and stuffs, can you suggest me which coding language is easier, and what website I can learn coding?

Thank you!

I can recommend codecademy for programming. The best way to learn programming is by doing it.

better than Khan Academy's programming? I mean, all I've learned in first two hours is how to move a rectangles and ellipses and color them and stuff

i agree with you @John Muradeli khan programming is not the best

Lol my head exploded twice during my python class (just completed pyglatin and almost lost hope of doing python XD)

For linear algebra, Anton & Rorres is highly recommended. Strang's book also comes highly recommended.

For generating functions, Wilf's GeneratingFunctionology is the go-to book.

I will go against the grain here and recommend Wildberger's Divine Proportions if you like to learn more about geometry from an affine perspective; he goes into more detail when talking about triangle centres & general triangle geometry. If you're looking for a challenge, his joint work with Le in this stuff may interest you.

I could go on and on, but with really basic stuff like this I think formal training would be better suited for you.
