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.

Robert Ash from Illinois has placed a handful of math books online (http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/). His books tend to include solutions to the problems.

The books are:

Real variables with basic metric space topology (undergrad intro analysis level): http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/RV.html
Basic probability theory (undergrad): http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/BPT.html
Lectures on statistics (undergrad): http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/Stat.html
Complex variables (undergrad/grad): http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/CV.html

Abstract algebra: the basic graduate year (grad): http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/Algebra.html
A course in algebraic number theory (grad): http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/ANT.html
A course in commutative algebra (grad): http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~r-ash/ComAlg.html

Kenneth Kuttler at BYU has a few books and a bunch of lecture notes available on his web site: http://www.math.byu.edu/klkuttle/

A few of the books are:

Calculus, Applications and Theory (comprehensive undergrad for 3-4 semesters of courses with single variable, multi-variable and vector calculus with some ODEs and linear algebra in the mix. More rigorous than traditional text as introduces sup and inf in first chapter, etc.): http://www.math.byu.edu/~klkuttle/calcbookBshortold.pdf

Elementary linear algebra (undergrad); http://www.math.byu.edu/~klkuttle/0000ElemLinearalgebratoprint.pdf

Single variable advanced calculus (undergrad analysis text, includes Riemann-Stieltjes integral, Fourier series and generalized Riemann integral): http://www.math.byu.edu/~klkuttle/AdvancedCalculusSV.pdf

Many variable advanced calculus (undergrad, includes Lebesgue integral and differential forms): http://www.math.byu.edu/~klkuttle/AdvancedCalculusMV.pdf

Anyone know what the actual textbook for Tao's Analysis I and II was? The UCLA web page isn't available anymore, that is, the syllabus for example.

I just recently stumble on this guy's post. He looks really smart and he even gives advice on tackling maths and physics if interested.
http://www.math.ucr.edu/home/baez/books.html
All of those links are working as of today 19/may/16

Sorry! forgot to tell that there are a lot of books in physics, mathematics and mathematical physics,

Cheers!
