Alternatives to the Book
While we will cover most of Holt in order, the underlying mathematics
is quite old and there are many other expositions. A few:
- S. Paul Smith has extensive and reasonably well-edited
notes
which are written at a somewhat more advanced level than Holt. See the "sermon" at the
end as well.
- Natalie Naehrig has some perhaps friendlier
notes, which are not quite as polished.
- Khan Academy has extensive material at this level, like
this.
