Math book recommendations for Poker Players
I was never good with math, i lack the basics of the math and have issues calculating most basic stuff, for example "how many BB/100 i need to make in NL25 in order to make $1000/per month", it took me 10 minutes to come up with right formula and find the numbers. Whenever i see a formula chatgpt writes i get really confused. I feel like not being good with the basic math is something that holds me back in poker.
Do you guys have any basic math book recommendation that also covers the topics that will help me in poker, probability etc. I am not asking for poker math book, just a general basic instruction to math so i can understand and come up with formulas.

Poker Math that Matters by Owen Gaines
My free Blog on Tumblr, Hold'em Mathology, might be a good place to start.
The above are recommendations for poker math, and it doesn't seem like that is what you need (right now, but you will in the future). I haven't read the recommendations, so I could be wrong, but they probably assume knowledge of some basic math skills, and these are the skills you say that you lack.
I did a quick search and found that Amazon has some basic math books - but also found this site https://www.khanacademy.org/math
I didn't go over any of the content, but just looking at the topics covered (all the way from kindergarten math to calculus) and I feel certain that you could easily find your own level there, and progress to where you have all the tools you need to then go to the poker specific content. Don't consider this a recommendation, since I haven't used this at all. It just seems like it would address your needs.
khanacademy is a good resource also, i would also recommend that
