I think the "-24" is the price at a second hand book store. And the "Math" is for shelving it on the Math section.

[michaelodonnell]

Regarding Lang's "Linear Algebra": "Math" refers to the section of the (college) bookstore in which the book belongs, and "24" refers to the price then -- $24.

Fermat's Last Theorem By Simon Singh, is a pleasure to read. Your don't need to be into mathematics to understand the mathematical issues to be solved. It also gives you this great history of where some mathematical problems come, how they evolved and when there were solved. For Spanish speakers out there, the book "Algebra" by Baldor is an amazing book.

I find it interesting you only read parts of books. I typically pick books and read them completely. I am trying to read 100 books. I have only completed 65 books. My requirement is I have to read every page of text. I try to work some problems, although it's not a requirement. I only complete about books 10 every year. It's convenient to have a dense reference section.

(1) : Linear algebra by serge lang

(3):Abstract algebra
I've read calculus made easy by sp thomson.

What? No discussion about *Martin Gardner, * the co-author of "Calculus Made Easy, " the columnist for Scientific American magazine for many years? I've read several of his books. He's fun.

[dontardiff]

Somewhat surprised you did not mention that Martin Gardner was a noted author of several math puzzle books and was a columnist for many years with Scientific American. His column of math puzzles and observations was very popular feature of the publication for about a span of 25 years.

Some of the older books are available at Project Gutenberg, free

" _1966 that was soooo long ago_ ...". Young whippersnapper!!!!

I studyed Calculus I by Serge Lang's Calculus text book in its Brazilian version. He was probably a man with a lot of sense of humor, as in the chapter about derivatives there was an exercise list in which the last problem, the 40th I guess, he simply wrote "now rest" ("descanse", in port.).

The copy I ordered just arrived and it’s a delight! Thanks so much for r commanding it.

The best textbook I ever read is Introduction to Linear Algebra with Applications by Steven Roman. Unfortunately, I think it's been out of print for a long time. But it does a great job of helping students make the transition from calculation problems to proofs by having a mixture of both problem types throughout. Roman also motivates the material well by explaining the purpose of each section and how fits with its predecessors. There are selected answers, but no solutions. I do wish Roman had included complex numbers. But that's my only quibble with the book.

I found a copy of Linear Algebra by Lang at Goodwill several months ago cause I thought it might come in handy, glad to hear you recommend it!

Viewing this posting, I do envy everyone who understands the mysterious world & terminologies of Mathematics. So many years ago I just couldn't grasp concepts in mathmatics: algebra, geometry, trigonometry in high school although I had dedicated, patient and compassionate math profs, I barely graduated with 60's (low D's) in these courses. By comparison other courses averaged high 70's to low 90's: biology, chemistry, languages ( including Latin in junior year 7th grade), English, history, geography, vocationals (woodworking, metalwork, basic electrical concepts, welding; even managed a 95th percentile standing in typing class with a cast on my right wrist! ). I played, with success, on several school traveling sports teams, served as class president and chaired various social group clubs with just basic mathematic skills. But I was always fascinated by how Maths & Physics interpreted/ explained the world around me. Now, at 71, I wonder if I should enroll in basic high school maths courses again to see if I "might catch on to the language of geniuses". Any advice ?? D(

You should voice over a math audio book.

To introduce you to Analysis, I think the best option is Spivak´s "Calculus". To go deeper into the subject Rudin´s "Real and Complex Analysis". For an introduction to Abstract Algebra, with all the common topics and a good introduction to Galois Theory, I find Lang´s "Algebra" is the best option. For a good introduction to Geometry, I think everybody should read Artin´s "Geometric Algebra".If you are interested in Functional Analysis, like I am, the two references are Rudin´s "Functional Analysis" and specially a quite unknown book "Theorems and Problems of Functional Analysis" written by two Soviet mathematicians, Kirillov and Gvichiani, which is really a jewel. I´ve their original Russian version and also its French translation, but I presume it was also issued in English. Postnikov´s "Lectures in Geometry: Lie Groups and Lie Algebras" is complete and readable about this subject.

My favorite math book is Betrand Russell's book "Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy."

"Math 24-" (small, pencil) was written there by a used book seller; it means it's from the Math section and was offered at $24. This info used to ring in the purchase at the cash register.

1966 is ancient history?
I was studying Euclid's Elements at 14 years of age in 1966; translated by Sir Thomas L. Heath.Loved it.
