Need metric math e-textbooks (lemmy.world)

Hi, i need to study Mathematics from scratch. I didn't learn any math at school. I'm from a EU country, not UK.

I have a hard time finding math books that use the metric system online. I try'd openstax, but those books use imperial dogshit. https://openstax.org/ I try to scavenge anna's archive. But all of them imperial. And all UK Secondary School books online are incomplete. I can't just buy/import them because i have not been in school for over a decade. Only teachers can buy them.

I need pure metric Math e-books for prealgebra, algebra 1&2, Trigonometry, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus. I want to put them om my e-reader with wacom stylus, so i don't need to buy paper.

If i have to use imperial measurements for longer than an hour, my brain will explode. 🤯 I'm not looking forward to converting and typesetting hundreds of books in LaTeX on Arch linux.

Which books should i get? Only complete books.

Glad to see this lemmy community revived :D!

Try the ones listed here: https://github.com/rossant/awesome-math?tab=readme-ov-file#books

Though I'd agree with another commenter down here, the units largely don't matter in those subjects and they're just there to help readers "relate" to the problems discussed in most textbooks, unless you intend to work with, idk, specialized subjects like, something closely related to Physics?
