Request: Looking for good Maths book

In summary, the person is looking for a good math book that focuses on physics and is suitable for their current level, which includes topics such as differentiation, integration, matrices, complex numbers, and curve sketching. They also mention potentially learning about Markov Chains, Differential Geometry, and Multi-Variable Calculus in the future. They want to expand their math knowledge before starting a physics degree at university and ask for recommendations.

Hi,

I'm looking for a good maths book that emphasises on Physics.

I'm doing A Level Maths and Further Maths with other A Levels (17 years old in England, UK). So I've met Differentiation (quotient, chain rule, trig differentiation, implicit...), Integration (by parts, substitution, partial), Partial fractions, Parametric Equations. We've gone through first order differential equations too.

Also been through Matrices, Complex Numbers, Curve Sketching (Had enough if this!), Polar Coordinates, Hyperbolic Functions in Further Maths. Moreover, other basic maths.

We may go through Markov Chains, Differential Geometry and Multi-Variable Calulus this year, depending on what I pick for my subject modules.

I want to expand on my Maths knowledge this year before beginning University (Physics Degree).

Any good books for my level of knowledge? There's just so many on Amazon.

Thanks.
