Good math books?

kurosh · #1 06-24-2005, 04:27 PM

I've taken math up to Calc 2 in school (algebra, trig, calc, geometry, NOT statistics). I'm extremely gifted in math and have yet to come across a concept I've had difficulty with so level of difficulty doesn't factor in. Obviously, I won't be able to understand some things without the proper background. I want some books to learn more. Can anyone recommend some good ones?

Walter Rudin, Principles of Mathematical Analysis
Charles Pinter, A Book of Abstract Algebra

Fraleigh's introduction to abstract algebra was a pretty good book, as I recall, and it covers basic ideas that will show up over and over again.

Will either of these books help fulfill my new found quest: bang a stripper?

If not, I fail to see how they will add to me existence.

A) nh

B) I cant very well let jason_t get away with banging a stripper now can I? In fact, I guess that means I have to bang two. Just, you know, to keep the CMI > jason_t order in place, and thus, in the process, keep the earth from spinning out of orbit.

Lots of strippers are impressed by a guy who has lots of books.

You need more help than any number of books could offer you.

The first step in acheiving your goal would be to quit being a pussy and fly to Vegas next time.

Judging from your "Order of things" post and the post to which this one is a reply, you have no clue what the symbol ">" means.
