Mathematics Book Recommendations from an Oxford student (My top 8 Maths Books!!)

Book university accommodation with Amber! 🏡

Hello everybody!!! ❤️ I'm Ioana - a Third-Year Mathematics student at the University of Oxford and in this video I talk about my favourite Maths books - whether they are books about learning Maths, Maths textbooks, or even just books having Maths as one of their main subjects. Please let me know if you have any book recommendations for me too - I'd love to hear from you guys!!

If you're interested in university-related content, studying, or Maths-related content - join me on my journey! ✨

Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful day! xx

"Complex Variables" by John W. Dettman is a great read: the first part covers the geometry/topology of the complex space from a Mathematician's perspective, and the second part covers application of complex analysis to differential equations and integral transformations, etc. from a Physicist's perspective.

Books I enjoyed reading: The Music of Primes
Fermat's Last Theorem
A Brief History of Infinity
The Man who Only Loved Numbers (about Erdos)

More than three books in the video caught my attention. As an engineering student, your videos are very inspiring, I hope that after I finish my bachelor's and master's degrees, I can take a bachelor's degree in Physics or Mathematics (both seem equally beautiful to me, but I can only choose one) although I would never study it in my country lol.

To say that _Understanding Analysis_ will make you a master at analysis is an overstatement. I think it’s a fantastic intro to the subject, but nothing much beyond that.

Really loved the video Ioana, thank you so much. Its really interesting to hear people who are immersed in a subject discuss how they got into it. I'm interested in maths but don't have a degree in it - and I'm going to be buying at least a couple of books from your list (I already have the Barbara Oakley one).
Perhaps you could do another one with say an undergrad studying a different subject at Oxford and discussing their top 8 books ?
I'ld love to see videos covering Biology, History, Economics, English ...

For rigourous and interesting Math and physics books, check soviet era published books...

The book I used a lot was called "The Chemistry Maths Book" by Erich Steiner. It's comparable to "Mathematical Techniques", I dive into these two titles every time I haven't done mathematics for a while and I get back into the subject relatively quickly. Understanding Analysis is also a book that I love to read. One of my favourite books is called "Number" written by Tobias Dantzig, it's kind of a history of mathematics, I would recommend it to anyone interested in mathematics.

Many thanks for sharing your titles with us.

Were you always good at maths or did you study a lot? If it’s because of hard work, what would you recommend to get better at maths?

Elementary Linear Algebra by Howard Anton is a favorite of mine.

[sanvi___]

The Aops math books are amazing. They are quite challenging and are great for competition prep.

[Raots-wvhh]

Very good vedio and excellent presentation.
Books written by Dr. Richard Courant are also excellent.

Some of Indian mathematics books are also very good like RD Sharma for fundamentals.

[ronbackal]

interesting compilation! I will definitely look at "The houskeeper and the professor"

[jdbrown]

I love that book Complex Number A..Z. My favorite of all is Putnam and Beyond,

[RossMcgowanMaths]

What an interesting set of books. I have a lot of mathematics books but I have none on your list. I will definitely have a look at some of these. Thank you. One that I can recommend to you would be John Stillwell Mathematics and Its History. I always thought that putting mathematics in it's historical context is very useful and just really intersting.

[MissMysteryMusic]

A mind for mathematics
Why study Mathematics
Mathematical Techniques
The Art of Problem Solving vol 1
Algorithmic Puzzles
Understanding Analysis
Complex Numbers from A to z
The housekeeper and the professor

Hi beatiful video, I will surely read these books, thank you. Hi, may I ask you some questions regarding the requirements for entry to Oxford, if I don't bother you, please? For example, to take the test do you have to have a certain high school leaving average, please? Because math is a subject I love, but I can't stand history... thank you a lot for your videos, hoping to see new content soon, have a nice day. May I ask what is your study method and if you read aloud or in your head, please?

[mohammedaminelm]

Wow I can really relate! At the beginning of the day I'm trying to solve a hard math problem, and at the end of the day I'm reading a book about the Industrial Revolution. Mathematics and books rock!!
