Someone (@rramadass) made me a good set of recommendations from the titles.
* Edit: I see now that linked comment too is from @clmul, the OP here. Thanks clmul!
- lioeters 3mo agoOh right, I saw that comment too, and grabbed a bunch of interesting-looking books on mathematics. Glad the website got more attention, good stuff!
- rramadass 3mo agoYep, i have been recommending these books and this site for a while now. The reason? See my comment from 7 years ago! - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21351115 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21351115 The younger generation in particular need to know of these excellent resources for Science/Mathematics. Another good publisher of old/classic Science/Mathematics books is "Dover Publications" - https://store.doverpublications.com/ https://store.doverpublications.com/ Checkout for example, the books by Richard Hamming, in particular; "Methods of Mathematics Applied to Calculus, Probability, and Statistics" - https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486439457 https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486439457 (highly relevant to today's needs). Also checkout the book series (mathematics via correspondence for high-school students) by I.M.Gelfand - https://store.doverpublications.com/search?type=product&q=I.M.Gelfand https://store.doverpublications.com/search?type=product&q=I....
