Here's a list of most of the textbooks I've read;
Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences - Mary Boas
Introuction to Linear Algebra - Gilbert Strang
Linear Algebra - Hoffman and Kunze
Theory of Sets - Bourbaki
Algebra I (the first third of) - Bourbaki
Mathematical Analysis - Tom Apostol
Principles of Mathematical Analysis - Walter Rudin
Princples of Quantum Mechanics - R Shankar
Modern Quantum Mechanics - JJ Sakurai
Classical Mechanics - Goldstein
Classical Mechanics - Landau and Lifgarbagez
Non-rel Quantum Mechanics - Landau and Lifgarbagez
Classical Field Theory - Davidson
Introduction to Tensor Calculus and Contuum Mechanics - J Heinbockel
Intorduction to Topology and Modern Analysis - George Simmons
Algebra: Chapter 0 (first half) - Paolo Aluffi
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach - Peter Norvig (I did one of Stanford's online courses)
Introduction to Electrodynamics - David Griffiths
And of course, I've picked up some other bits and bobs along the way.
Currently reading (more than half way through);
Advanced Linear Algebra - Steve Roman
Introduction to Manifolds - Loring Tu
Introduction to Statistical Mechanics - David Chandler
What gaps do I need to fill in my knowledge? (I'm sure there must be many since my route isn't exactly the conventional one)
I'm mostly interested in physics, specifically physics of the very small althogh I've never really found a good textbook on GR to see if I like that. I'm also interested in maths, I'm quite enjoying the linear algebra and manifolds ideas too, so any reccomendations for either QFT/QED/whatever comes after you've done your basic QM, introduction to GR or book to go onto after I've finished Tu and Romans books would be welcome.
I'm also interested in learning some kind of programming language, so what books would be suitable for someone with my background?
Thanks in advance
