Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around sharing links to free mathematics and physics textbooks, covering a wide range of topics including advanced calculus, geometry, algebra, and various physics subjects. Participants are encouraged to contribute additional links and report any broken links or copyright issues.

Discussion Character

  • Meta-discussion
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • Participants share numerous links to free textbooks across various subjects, including advanced calculus, geometry, and physics.
  • Some participants express gratitude for the shared resources, indicating a positive reception of the contributions.
  • One participant notes a broken link for "Higher Mathematics for Engineers and Physicists," prompting a request for updates on the links.
  • Another participant mentions a licensed copy of "Power Programming with Mathematica" as a legitimate download.
  • Additional contributions include references to open-source textbooks and resources from specific educators, such as Robert Ash and Kenneth Kuttler.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is general agreement on the value of sharing free educational resources, but no consensus on the status of specific links, as some are reported broken while others are confirmed functional.

Contextual Notes

Some links may be subject to copyright issues, and the reliability of the links is not uniformly verified. Participants are encouraged to check the links for accessibility.

from now till until July 2020: Axler's Linear Algebra Done Right is free to download here:
https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-11080-6

(Axler himself posted a blurb about this on math stackexchange)

Another free book of Axler is this measure theory book, that definitely looks good for beginners:
