Hey all -

Soon to be STEM /sci/ major here.

I was interested in some book suggestions that would be good to read over the summer.

Some stuff I prefer if you could suggest within the category -

Math Philosophy (interesting Math subjects, abstract ideas, perhaps a more advanced book akin to Vsauce / Numberphiles' subjects)

Science books discussing interesting and somewhat controversial topics, as well as political and economic development of drugs, medicine, etc

Physics / Abstract Mathematical mindfuck books that don't make sense but make all the sense in the world fundamentally


Or really just any /sci/ books you recommend.

Thanks for any and all help!

Cheers.

This looks pretty interesting.

How hard would it be to read and study with only elementary / undergraduate experience?

I'm actually in your same situation and would like to get some suggestions as well.

>vsauce numberphile

absolute shit
if you like math do linear algebra from hoffman kunze
or analysis from Tao
both are great for starting

It's not really for studying as much as for reading some interesting proofs.

Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid

It's a pretty neat book.

I did exactly this the summer before my first year of undergrad. It left me very well prepared.

It's not really a textbook for learning, but a collection of ingenious proofs from a variety of fields. I've read it a few years ago and as far as I remember it uses mostly elementary methods (differentiation, complex numbers, some linear algebra, etc., but nothing too hard) to prove surprising results.

Learning SQL. Need to know a good book.
