Hello /sci/ I am a math major and am about a year away from graduating with a Bachelor's Degree. I would like to start to organize everything that I have from my text books and books i've bought into an organized collection. How should I go about that.
3 books on Calculus
3 on Differential Equations
2 on statistics
Euclidean Geometry
Abstract Algebra
Books on Proofs
2 on Number Theory
and one book called Math 1001 by Richard Elwes.
How should /sci/ approach doing this?
dewey decimals are the most mathematic way to arrange books
let me rephrase that. I want to read through the books and make a collection of notes through all of them.

library of congress classification is much better

Since the notes are ultimately for you, you are free to organize your notes in whatever manner you see fit.
I understand what you're trying to do. You want to systematize your own knowledge and "punch it up again", both to have it re-phrased in your own terms for easy reference, and also to have it organized with respect to your own personal understanding - in addition to the simple fact that writing it up again will help your retention.
I would suggest creating a series of pdfs/LaTeX documents which correspond more-or-less to each of the books that you'll be working from.
As for literally putting your books on your shelf, this is what I do: on the lower shelves, I keep my big heavy textbooks, which are all alpha-author. On the next shelf up, I keep the lighter, smaller paperbacks and general math interest books (most of my Dover paperbacks are in this area, though some bleeds down into the lower shelf at the moment), also alpha-author. In my case I simply make an arbitrary distinction between the two sets since they are small and finite (and thus tractable) and thus not requiring a more rigorous scheme.
