STEM textbook general

oh look, another book collector thread

reading a book is a million times nicer but i can't quite pinpoint why

whats your gpa/major

Seriously. I read faster with print books, can't fucking stand reading off a screen.

>Ash's complex variables (really good, better than Ahflors, Conway, Lang)

Is it better than using Stein & Shakarchi + Schaum's? I'm taking complex right now and I've learned next to nothing thanks to a terrible lecturer, have to go back through it over the summer and take the graduate sequence next year. Do you think Ash would be a good second in-depth look at the subject?

>JP Den Hartog

my fuckin' nigga.

Mathematical Cryptography
The Nature of Computation

Yes. It's like little Rudin in style and Rudin also satisfies the prereqs

But baby Rudin is a terrible text user. People only like it cuz of muh Rigor. Apostol/Pugh are better because they actually do the proofs and explain things well

I always thought so as well. Buy a tablet. You won't be distracted by your usual computer shit and it feels a lot more like reading a book. I haven't bought a single book since I bought the tablet and I read like at least 2 books a month.
