Lot's of good books already here!
In the same spirit as Polya's book "Thinking mathematically" by J.
Mason, L. Burton and K. Stacey
I learned a lot in the early days with Demidovich book on 5000 problems on mathematical analysis.
Tom Apostol books on calculus, but for me his book on analytical number theory. Alongside alan baker's thin book on number theory.
Gilbert Strang book(s) on linear algebra.
Rudin book on functional analysis.
Oh Hardy's book on divergent series!
Ian Steward books on transcendental numbers and Galois theory.
Elements of algebraic topology by Munkres is a fantastic book.
So many books are invaluable to me in teaching not only math but mathematical thinking.
I guess if you want to learn thinking but not necessarily math "thinking mathematically" above mentioned is your friend.
- matthewmorgan 4y agoCame here to recommend Thinking Mathematically (text only) by J. Mason. If only every high school maths teacher had this book, the world would be a better place
- mlpinit 4y agoThis is a great book. Unlike any other book I've read. It helps with defining a process that I think every person working in a technical field uses one way or another. It helps you develop a way of thinking that reduces anxiety when you are stuck and helps develop paths to get unstuck. This book made me love math and I wish more people knew about it. It's also never too early or too late to pick it up.
