I have a normal high school level of mathematics including some statistics and find the world of Quantitative Finance both alien and invigorating at the same time so, would like to learn more.
What book recommendations would people suggest for me to take me from lets say beginner to advanced including stochastic calculus and Ito's lemma etc. Ideally, a maths reminder book to start me off as lets say a number of years have passed since I was at high school :-)
I'm thinking less theoretical, interesting and easy reading if at all possible.
