- nextos 8y agoYes, in fact some recommendations at LW are odd: "On analysis in Rn, orthonormal recommends Strichartz's The Way of Analysis over Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis and Kolmogorov & Fomin's Introduction to Real Analysis." Rudin or Kolmogorov & Fomin are waaaay more advanced than Strichartz. If they wanted a more conceptual but still advanced book they could recommend e.g. Hubbard & Hubbard which is a marvelous book IMHO. I'd put it on par with SICP and CTM in terms of the enormous amount of ground it covers and the insights a novel reader can get.
