Spivak was great, I remember it fondly from my university years.
Is there any kind of crowdsourced "canonical" list of great books? Ideally something that does not bring 5 answers per question to the table. For example, what is the Spivak of discrete mathematics? Of statistics? What is Spivak for multivariate calculus?
- nimonian 6y agoI would love to know the answer to your question. On the one hand, it's too subjective to answer, one student's Spivak is another's Apostol; on the other hand, certain books just seem special in an almost objective way and rise above the scores of other books on the subject. There is this: https://mathblog.com/mathematics-books/ https://mathblog.com/mathematics-books/ which looks like a pretty well curated list
