So You Want to Study Math...
The math guide is (finally) up!
I’m so excited to share with you all that the math guide is finally up: “So You Want to Study Mathematics…”
I know how much you all have enjoyed and used the physics and philosophy guides, and I’m hoping you find this one useful, too. I spent a lot of time the past year or so combing through math textbooks and trying to figure out which ones were not merely the best, but the best specifically for independent study.
Please check it out — I would love to know what you think! These guides are a labor of love, so any feedback I get really means a lot to me (even if it’s just a note that says “hey, I used your guide and I loved it/hated it/etc.).
I am very appreciative! I've been on a Math journey since I retired a couple of years ago and I agree with all the books you've mentioned that I know and look forward to picking up some of the one I do not know. I agree baby Rudin is essential, but I find it tough going.
Some books I liked for self study because they have answers:
Introduction to Analysis, Mattock.
Elementary Differential Geometry, Pressley.
There is also recently Needham's Visual Differential Geometry and Forms, which is great.
Thanks again.
Woo! I have been looking forward to this for a while and became distraught when I recently checked and saw the "coming soon" page at the same URL was gone. It looks like it will be another fantastic resource for independent learning.
I have heard good things about Hammack's *Book of Proof* and am interested to hear if anyone has read it and Velleman's *How To Prove It* and can compare/contrast the two (ideally through the lens of independent study).
