I am pursuing masters degree in computer applications. I have no formal Mathematics and Physics background but for masters degree entrance examination I have studied senior high school level Mathematics with some introductory college level Mathematics like multi-variable calculus, advance linear algebra etc but that was 2 years back.
In my personal opinion computer programming is a monotonous work which is making me bored and from past 2 years (after studying mathematics)and I have a strong urge to self learn Mathematics and Physics.
Maths is prerequisite for both computing especially advanced topics (Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence etc) and Physics so I have decided to cover these Mathematical topics first
1. Linear Algebra by using Introduction to Linear Algebra from Gilbert Strang
2. Trigonometry by using Trigonometry by Charles P. McKeague and Mark D. Turner
3. Coordinate Geometry (Need Recommendation for book to cover this topic)
4. Calculus (Confused which book to use Thomas' Calculus or Stewart's or some other)
And finally Fundamentals of Physics Extended by David Halliday, Robert Resnick and Jearl Walker as my first physics book
It will take a lot of time to cover all this therefore I don't want to make any mistake in selecting wrong text for a newB. Can you help me by recommending some good books which i can use with or instead of books mentioned above and a suitable strategy to attain the goal in parallel with my regular studies.
