AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a list of recommended mathematics textbooks across various subjects, including precalculus, proof and foundations, calculus, linear algebra, and geometry. Key titles mentioned include "Basic Mathematics" by Lang, "How to Prove It" by Velleman, and "Introduction to Linear Algebra" by Marcus. The original poster seeks validation of their selections and invites additional suggestions or ratings for the books listed. However, the conversation is interrupted by a forum member who criticizes the poster for repeatedly seeking textbook recommendations without engaging with previous responses, leading to the thread being locked.

Theoristo, this is your tenth thread in a week time where you ask for textbook suggestions. If your other threads didn't get the answers you wanted, then this won't either. So please stop spamming the forum.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
