I am not trying to discourage you, but I am not sure if you want to go both ways. It's really hard to specialize in two fields (statistics and polisci) that are not closely related in theory - especially at a graduate level. Unless, of course, polisci is totally easy for you because statistics is not that simple. Since you are in polisci, I think it's enough to grasps the basics; if you really want to do statistics, then you should do a PhD in statistics or other kinds of numerical fields instead. On a second thought, maybe our defintions of 'advanced modelling' differ. | ||

However, I think that their Calculus book only goes up to what would be considered Calc II. But in general all of these books are aimed towards those who really want to understand what they're learning, instead of just memorizing. I'll second this. Get the Art of Problem Solving Volumes 1 and 2 + solutions manual. They cost quite a bit but if you want to solidify your foundation in math, this is the way to go. It only goes up to precalculus, but you'll be amazed at how indepth the concepts can be applied and how much better you can understand the fundamentals. I got them in high school when i was participating in math competitions, and theyre the best textbooks ive EVER purchased. On another note, http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Choice-Without-Counting-Mathematical/dp/0883856158 is a very good choice for probability and combinatorics. | ||

Plus I can get you an electronic copy free >.> [edit] Also game theory is disappointingly simple if you understand probability. | ||
