That would be a hard one. A book of appetizers without a main course. I read it when I was an undergrad wanting to get a broad sense of different areas in Math I could pursue.
If I had to pick one math book it would have to be a classic with some depth to it: Euclid’s Elements, Newton’s Principia, or Gauss’ Disquisitiones.
- Myrmornis 4y agoYes, perhaps you're right! It could be frustrating, either because it doesn't give you enough to understand the introduction to an area, or because it doesn't give you any depth. I think it would be a bad mistake not to take a maths book with exercises and solutions to ones desert island.
