Hoffman & Kunze Linear Algebra
Tao Analysis I / II
Rotman's A First Course in Modern Algebra
>>
>>8112072
I found Tao's Analysis I book to be a bit pedantic due to how he explains almost everything very clearly. Compared to Pugh, Rudin, or Spivak - it's a breath of fresh air, however if you're used to filling in gaps then it appears there might be better alternatives.
>>
>>8112086
sounds like the opposite of pedantic to me. he does hold your hand too much if you already know analysis
>>
>>8112107
Pedantic in the sense of being overly formal. I've worked through Spivak's Calculus & Calculus on Manifolds, although I have not done a course in Analysis.
>>
>>8112107
It can feel somewhat pedantic, although not for the reasons he describes.

What can make Tao feel pedantic is
>he spends a huge amount of time in the beginning on foundations
>his proofs are excruciatingly detailed

On topic to the thread, I don't really like Tao's way of doing things. Spending a ton of time doing trivialities in full rigour produces two kinds of student; the one who gets alienated because you're teaching him that math is about braindead checking of obvious things, and the other who takes the formalization to heart and becomes a detail-obsessed autist.

Nigga It's Landau. You have to be at a certain level before being able to utilize his texts fully but they are masterpieces.

>>
>>8115602
I have not personally used Spivak's book but since you said you had some exposure to basic mechanics, I would recommend looking at Kleppner&Kolenkow, David Morin, and John Taylor. These are typical mechanic texts used in undergrad curriculums. Once you've done those, transition to Goldstein,Arnold, and Landau; these are grad texts that shouldnt be taken lightly. Each textbook has its strengths and using all of them will benefit you. I recommend picking one (say Taylor for lower level mech) and using that as your main textbook while checking the other books to see how their approaches and explanations are different.

Any good medicine textbooks?

I have very strong opinions on this matter, as I have gone back and read many basic/intro level books over again for pleasure when I'm bored/taking a break. My personal favorites have changed greatly throughout the years, but as of now they are:

Calculus: Spivak, Apostol, Courant or Courant-John (this last one is really nice because it really feels like a "calculus" text with how much it shows you regarding computations and applications, but it is still relatively rigorous).
Linear Algebra: Hoffman Kunze, Peter Lax, Lin Alg Section of Algebra books
Topology: Munkres for beginners, Dugundji is good for more advanced but the language feels dated sometimes. Bourbaki has the best treatment of filters/ultrafilters (I haven't read anythign else in Bourbaki's topology). Engelking is a good reference but I wouldn't read it like a text. Willard is also very nice. I actually have yet to find a general topology book I really like past the level of Munrkes. For example, very few treat both nets as well as filters/ultrafilters and shows their equivalence (I recommend Pete clark's notes for this).

Basic Analysis: Baby Rudin, Amann/Escher. Stein Shakarchi's Fourier Analysis (mainly for god-tier exposition. It is, after all, fourier analysis without lebesgue integration so content wide it can only get so sophisticated).

Complex Analysis: Ahlfors (fuck the haters), Stein-Shakarchi, Berenstein-Gay,

Babby Algebra: Artin, Dummit & Foote for stuff not covered in Artin (for what Artin does cover, he actually talks about things in a much more sophisticated and insightful way).

Graduate Algebra: Lang. I used to say on this board that Lang was useless, that if you were ready for lang you could just go for specialized texts in any of the areas (Atiyah Macdonald/matsumura for commutative algebra, etc). I've since changed my mind. It's REALLY nice having a text at this level of sophistication that TOUCHES on a bunch of areas...(cont).
>>
>>8116218
(cont)... I've done read all of and done all the (reasonable) exercises in Lang as well as D&F and looked through many other texts (Rotman, Knapp, Cohn, Grillet, Aluffi, etc.) None of them really come close to replacing Lang. So, yes, it is really terse, and often confusingly written, but I have yet to find a replacement for an advanced algebra text that has a bit of everything.

Differential Topology (more topological flavour): Guillemin and Pollack, Kosinski, Hirsch

Differential Topology (smooth manifolds, more geometric flavour): Tu or Spivak for concise introduction to the language, Lee of you really want to get your hands dirty and understand a lot of little details in how things work. I personally prefer Lee.

Algebraic Topology: Hatcher if you are not comfortable with categorical language, May if you are. Bott and Tu. tomm dieck, bredon are also nice.

ugh, i just got too lazy to write down anymore. I'm looking through my books and there are too many I like to continue this. I'd be happy to recommend what I see as "God Tier" books in any undergraduate/basic graduate level subject, as well as algebraic geometry, complex geometry, differential geometry, and PDEs books.

Ideally you don't rest on those laurels and instead move on to March or Carey/Sundberg. I've found undergrad orgo texts are mostly the same.

That said,
March - Advanced Organic Chemistry
Kolmogorov/Formin - Introductory Real Analysis (actually on linear spaces and integration)
Szabo/Ostlund - Modern Quantum Chemistry (good review of linear algebra theory at the beginning for weaker backgrounds)
Bachrach - Computational Organic Chemistry (the March of computational chemistry. A good entry point into the literature. Something every untenured organic chemist who doesn't want to be homeless in ten years is picking up. Benefits from a book like Szabo that focuses more heavily on the mathematical theory of electronic structure

Spivak is 500-600 pages long and he doesn't even give a notion of a metric space. There's like 50 exercises "find the limit", 50 exercises "compute the integral" and so on which is kinda useless both for pure and applied math provided that math software exists.

If you find yourself unable to compute things like this by hand, then you have a problem you need to rectify. It's good to have exercises which check that you actually know what you're doing.

I don't really think Spivak has much of a niche, especially in 2016.

Your groups of people who might be considering Spivak are
>no exposure to calculus, average math ability
>exposure to non proof-based calculus, average math ability
>no exposure to calculus, exceptional math ability

For the first group, Spivak is not only too hard but useless because they probably aren't going to be mathematicians.
The other two groups are more than capable of just going straight to an elementary analysis text, and probably should because learning from a text that uses metrics and basic notions from topology and set theory will be much more helpful for future learning that a book that dances around in epsilons to avoid them.

>I don't really think Spivak has much of a niche, especially in 2016.
This. I bought a copy and read it while drunk in a single night out of curiosity after I'd already done analysis.
Loaned my copy out to this 18 year old high school dropout who falls into the first category. It's hard for the mathematically unsophisticated, but it always sort of struck me as "pure math for art students" in the general-interest sense that the math itself is less important than the logic, reasoning, abstraction, analytic thinking and rigor that it fosters.
In a way, it's a sort of mathematical pop-sci done correctly

This is one of my favourite introductory textbooks. If I were to choose a few books for high school students interested in pursuing mathematics, this would definitely be one of them.

Halmos is one of the best mathematicians-writers ever. His "I Want to be a Mathematician - An Automathography" is simply great.
>>
>>8119727
If I recall correctly, he doesn't assume any algebra knowledge for the second half either. You should probably supplement with an actual algebra text. In fact, his algebraic topology section isn't held in as high a regard as the first half, so looking elsewhere is reasonable. You aren't married to finishing the whole book.

Was looking for a stupid questions thread but this thread is related:

I tried reading a few mathematics books and most of them are just unintelligible for me. Something about the way they present the information and theorems, often with a lot of mathematical notation, they just make no sense to me even if I look at the same page for an hour.

So far I've only been able to get some knowledge from Seymour Lipschutz's 'Linear Algebra' and Charles H. Edwards' 'Differential Equations' (I can't remember exactly the title).

So how should I approach reading a math book? Just read the same page over and over until something clicks on my brain?

Thank you.

I keep increasing this list almost every day. I have a hard on for books released during the URSS.(Although I haven't yet downloaded any in Russian so far, but will).

>Also please post titles of all things you have downloaded
I have almost 500gb in ebooks, anon. It would take a long time to list all the things I have downloaded. Pic related bottom is what is inside the hobby folder. The Business folder is based on the wikia, Baker and Cooking is related to my work(baker at morning and working at a hotel's kitchen at night), Diy is just things I want to learn, Go and Chess(which is only the Artur Yusupov collection) is pretty obvious, fiction-non fiction has some books I should read that I just keep downloading because I can't stop downloading books, History is where I have most of my GB and I love history so I don't care how much it takes space on my HDD, Sew, Draw and Violin are my hobbies(which were the only ones in this folder once), Português is related to my own language(it's books for grammar and what more), Politics is some guide from /pol/ or /lit/ can't remember and Languages is for what I'm studying(Japanese, Russian and French) and what I must learn(Chinese because raw manga is usually in chinese first, Polish because people says it is hard, Ancient Greek and Latin because I love both languages).

>>8119977
>but are you autistic
Well, if going by 4chan definition, yes. But for real, I'm not autistic. Still, I can't stop myself from downloading books, so maybe I'm an autistic.

>How many of these books have you actually read?
For now only those related with physics, chemistry and math(until calculus, as I'm at this level yet) were the ones I read. All of them was downloaded in the last two months, since until them I had only read the physic question books(to help me study physics). I do read one per week[if it's possible, sometimes it take 2 or more], though(together with any other book I'm reading on another subject[philosophy now]).

>What do you like about them so much
The reason is that I find their teaching in math and physic good, they just show what I must know and that's it, not spending a thousand pages to learn a few formulas, 100 pages on why physics is good in this age or any bullshit you find in textbook released recently. For me, that works pretty good. From that, I decide to downloaded all those URSS books and what I read I loved(like the 107 stories about chemistry and I'm a physicist).

>what drives this infatuation?
Before a /sci/-user, I'm a /lit/-user and Russian Literature is my favorite. So I already had something for Russia. I like to search how and what books some country uses for their students and Russia is one of them. Based on how well Russia advanced during the URSS, I was curious about their learning method and that's how I ended up with URSS books. Funny enough, it was on a Indian blog talking about how good those books are that made me download them. Sad I just recently decided to learn Russian so it'll take a long time before I'm able to read Dostoyevsky in Russian. Until them, I'll be downloading them books in Russian too.

Shafarevich is a good intro.

One of the dumb things is that it tries to map out years of textbooks from day one. People then spend so much time trying to figure out exactly which four textbooks they need to get to after they finish the current one instead of just reading the fucking book. It also sweeps many subjects under the rug (read an algebra book; learn topology) and seems entirely focused on doing nothing but reading Rudin's books for some reason (flavor of the month memes I'm sure). There are so many calculus books here, and I'm not sure why anyone would focus so heavily on calculus only to continue on and read multiple analysis books.

Sup guys. My math course in uni goes regular calculus then vector/multivariable calculus then linear algebra/diff equations.

I'm currently burning through Spivak and its hard but I think I can manage it. I should finish it in maybe a little over a month. Should I grab a book on basic vector/multivariable calc then linear algebra/diff eq? I wanted to learn stuff in advance before I start the course so it will be a breeze. I was planning on grabbing Apostol Vol. 2 then a Linear Algebra book. Here's my current reading list. Any suggestions on the order or book choices?

Strang's book is a sloppy piece of garbage. Avoid at all costs.

Apostol, however, is a great textbook. I actually like it better than Spivak, however I don't go in for the laid-back attitude Spivak has. Some people do.

My problem with the recommendation of Apostol in that book is that there's no point in reading another calculus book if you just read one, unless you didn't understand anything. You might learn 4 or 5 new things and the other 500 pages are a waste of time rereading material you know.
>>
>>8121809
>Should I grab a book on basic vector/multivariable calc then linear algebra/diff eq?
You can't do any reasonable amount of vector calculus without linear algebra.
Vector calculus is, as the name implies, calculus of vector spaces. Doing it properly leans heavily on vector space properties that you'll learn while studying linear algebra.
I'd recommend at least studying a bit of linear algebra first.

>>8121765
>People then spend so much time trying to figure out exactly which four textbooks they need to get to after they finish the current one instead of just reading the fucking book.
Reading the book and working exercises is hard work and often boring. Reading Amazon reviews and planning out your next 6 years of study and daydreaming about how much of a mathematical scholar you're going to be is easy and fun.
I spent a while in that trap before I realized that I was barely doing any math and didn't even know anything about the books I was planning to read.

>suggesting that Rudin is a "breeze" for anyone at any level of preparedness

If the level of preparedness is "already knows analysis," then it is a breeze :p. I think ones view of rudin gets skewed once one knows the material because it's actually very basic and bare bones (going as fast as possible through just the most important ideas and theorems, doesn't explore many side topics). Basically all of the theorems and problem techniques used in the book are standard "moves" that are not too hard once one has had experience with them.

>thinking anyone other than graduate students specializing in analysis actually reads Papa Rudin

A lot of nonanalysts read papa rudin or harder books. The material in papa rudin is pretty basic compared to the amount of analysis you need to know to be an analyst. Even if you work in algebraic geometry, their are highly analytic algebraic geometers (e.g. siu, demailly) and it's useful to know what they're talking about even if youre not that kind of algebraic geometer. Also, almost every grad school requires you to pass exams in all of the fundamental subjects, so most top PHD students at least know most of the analysis in folland. I would argue that not even his functional analysis is so specialized that it's only for analysts (mathematical physicists even need more func. Analysis than is in there). If you're talking about the second half of papa rudin, then I agree. The complex analysis is from a highly harmonic analysis perspective.
>>
>>8121756
The correct answer is that there's no one best track. You try to get as broad as possible with some narrow interest probing in undergrad, and as the years go on in grad school, you decrease the breadth and increase the depth (how suddenly you decide to do this depends on the mathematician). The reason the track is hard to give is because at no level of maths will you be able to get all the breadth or all the depth, so for most it kind of arises organically, with some planning but not a many year long "track."
>>
>>8121992

I am just somewhat neutral to learning to math standalone. I don't dislike it, but I find that I really like it when I am able to apply it and would like to be able to appreciate it more in its purity

I agree that you can't make yourself enjoy math if you don't like it.But there are those who like math but don't realise it, because it takes hard work and effort. I'm not just talking about putting in a lot of hours-- thats only a part of it. But another part is you have to really concentrate and think hard to understand advanced math. Its the difference between saying you work out hours every day and just jogging lightly the whole time, versus serious athletic training. Most people hate and cant handle the latter, some love it. But even among those who love it, they find it hard and some wanted to quit in the earlier stages. If you are not used to the concentration and type of thinking required, like most people, math can get frustrating fast. Some people can't get over how boring they find really concentrating that hard. Some people get past it and love it. But it is not uncommon to have a bad response to it initially, just because most of us aren't used to having to sitting in deep thought for so long. For example, I had MORE fun reading through langs algebra than baby rudin. Lang has MUCH more gaps to fill in that rudin, but I approached them from a different perspective. Once I was used to working hard, hardertexts were much more fun to read. Analogy: I used to be a competitive athlete in college many looked down on out of shape people as just lazy. But I was also fat in middle school/a lot of hs. It actually took me MORE discipline to get off my ass and start working out 3x/week, than to maintain my strick workout regimen as a varsity athlete. I think many have similar experiences with math. Getting started can often seem hard and boring, but gaining that discipline is an important part of really liking math. This is one reason I dislike when people only like pop math and see that as "beautiful." It's hard to strip math of its difficulty while keeping it's depth. But the depth is great enough that you train to thrive in the difficulty.

how do you guys study with the books you download ?. up until now ive been reading the book from a desktop's screen and taking notes\rephrasing it on paper to make sure everything is clear to me . but reading a book from a comp screen feels like shit for some reason .im thinking of maybe buying a tablet for this purpose .
i have a kindle and found a program that can reformat a pdf so it can be read from a kindle screen but the second there's any diagrrams\equations its fucked .
anyone else has any experience with this ?
>>
>>8126602
Kinda just have it up on a big screen. I know a few friends of mine use a tablet to read the pdfs. Just take a break every once in a while when using a screen, the backlight is hard on the eyes compared to a book

isnt it just a normal tablet ? dunno why they called it kindle .anyways to everyone using tablets for textbooks what would you recommend ?.
>min size
>resolution
>pixel density
>are cheap tablets enough ?(most likly wont use it for much other then reading)
>>
>>8126602
I would totally recommend k2pdfopt (search in google) to reformat math books for the kindle.
>>
>>8126706
> found a program that can reformat a pdf so it can be read from a kindle
yea that was it . anyways i put a bunch of physics books and this totally fucked up all the diagrams .now i might be able to fix this but then my kindle screen is like 1 inch bigger then my phone so i might as well use it (550PPI IPS screen) or buy something bigger (like a 9\10 inch tablet)
>>
>>8126722
The lenovo tab 3 pro is pretty awesome for reading and for the budget conscious. Any other tablet with high pixel density will also do the trick. If u need to read for long periods, try getting an rsi app which makes u take breaks... if u r rich u have a lot of choices, even one of those sony 13 inch epapers.

will a 1920x1200 be enough for a 10 inch tablet for reading ?.

So what would you guys recommend for me to read Spivok or Apostle completly over the summer if I only have general knowledge of Calcukus up to partial fractions?
>>
>>8127597
This. Same situation. Or is it better to just plow through all of Stewart's and then do Apostle or Spivak?
>>
>>8127622
>Or is it better to just plow through all of Stewart's and then do Apostle or Spivak

That's retarded. Either do a rigorous calculus book or normal calculus book and then move on to analysis.
>>
>>8127653
Why is that dumb? I know all the concepts and familiar with it for upcoming school year, then I can work through Apostle or Spivak at quicker pace while reinforcing knowledge...
>>
The one variable calculus books I like:
Schaum's outline of calculus by frank ayres, good for first reading. Goes to the point but doesn't shy away from epsilon-delta stuff. For the most part it states precisely what it doesn't prove (intermediate value theorem for example, and existence of riemman integral for continous functions). It should hopefully pique your interesting on how to prove those theorems.

Next Kitchen's Calculus for a second reading.
It's at the level of rigour of Apostol but it's way better, in my opinion. Apostol does a bunch of unmotivated arguments that aren't really illuminating, Kitchen favors sequences, which I think are much more instructive. As a nice plus it has a section on wallis formula and stirling asymptotic formula for the factorial. I've heard that oldie calculus books had much more on that classical advanced material, in which case I think it's a shame that's been replaced by much wordier exposition of basic stuff.

McQuarrie did a solid intro to physical chemistry (physical chemistry: a molecular approach) that gets you up to speed for reading more detailed books (helped with reading bethe and shankar). Hill's statistical thermodynamics is super convenient for getting insight into a topic. Kittel's thermal physics is neat as well.

It's awkwardly straddled between his CMP book and thermal physics and really is a poor man's ashcroft.

Bumping for interest. Also, finish the book you have now. But then, I don't know who you should read. Prolly Spivok for the exercises.
