[Gllug] Maths Books [OFF TOPIC]

[Jackson, Harry]

Hi all

I am in need of a decent book on pure maths. I have done maths to level
three 9 years ago (A level equivalent but not as broad subject range and
more engineering based) but would like a book that explains from first
principles and covers as much as pure maths as you would expect to cover
during a degree. Please do not recommend some crazy book of a similar ilk to
some of Knuths work or post grad maths as I would not be able to read it and
I would waste my time going to try and find it. What I basically need is a
book that I can use for self study as its an OU course and covers A
level/undergraduate pure mathematics in an easy to follow way.

I have looked at some calculus books etc but so far they have a tendency to
skip fundamental items assuming the reader has this knowledge. I have also
got Strouds Engineering maths book which is quite good if you are studying
the course in a class but this is not what I will be doing.

Any ideas, thoughts, recommendations?
