For someone who has forgotten math (other than high school level) and never did philosophy, what books/courses are good to start with (especially philosophy)?
The community college course I took past spring used Thomas Nagel (What Does It All Mean?) supplemented with some handouts. I would recommend a class because part of the doing of philosophy is the discussion. Plus the classroom is one of the few places where you can delve into the nuances of an issue without being considered pedantic or boorish.
