Question

What is your favorite math book?

Answer 1

Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers by Stanley J. Farlow

Answer 46

My favourite book is Euclid's Elements

Answer 47

interesting question, well i won't say i like some book and dislike other as most of them are text books to learn it, mean while a book need more than just things to learn to be inspired from, even Abstract algebra not my favorite topic in math but i liked
"Gallian_J._Contemporary_abstract_algebra__2009" book as it have some good quotes in t that sometimes inspired me at times i used to feel frustrated about exams. but i mostly like the books which defines math as it's a way to think and not only how to solve, that's why i rather pure math and logic with lovely addition of philosophy .

How ever my favorite one " The Principles of Mathematics" by Bertrand Russell
it's a good reference for foundation of mathematics also how to reasoning logically in philosophical way <3 <3

Answer 48

I really like 'How to think like a Mathematician' by Kevin Houston. It's excellent for developing study skills, helping you to think logically and how to write Mathematics clearly.

Answer 49
