Any recommendations on books that aren't purely textbooks? I've been looking at pic to get ready for grad school.

One of the best intro to Category theory books.
I love this one. Soviet Union has a lot of fun books like this.
>>8133978
Have you found the book to be worth your while?
>>8134061
I haven't gone through it yet.
>>8134001
Is bottom left of that a troll
>>8134786
Yes, good eye
>>8134786
No it's not a "troll" you redditor

Is there a Soviet book based on Math? I want to try a Soviet book, but i have close to 0 knowledge about chemistry
>>8135069
"The chicken from Minsk" was written by a soviet I think
>>8135069
My man, I have a collection of math(and others sciences) from the Soviet. And this list keeps increasing every day.
>>8134350
I took "I've been looking at" a little too literally, I guess. Anyone else use this book to prepare?
Okay so i grabbed a bunch of pdfs, djvu and epubs, is there a recommended ereader which you all use?

Woah
Care to upload these in an archived format?
"mathematics made difficult"
>>8135243
There's even more of them if you pirate search "Physics Complete" 5.21 GB, there's also a link in the /sci/ google pages to tons.
Ignition!
>>8135200
upload it to mega; so we keep this list alive forever anon!

What a pointless endeavor. I bet you haven't even read/studied a single one of those books. You just like the idea of having them there so you could potentially start reading them any day - except you don't, and never do.
>>8136104
You couldn't even be so wrong, my dear anon. Not only I did read some of those, I'm reading some right now(non-textbook: 107 chemistry stories[not there, but from soviet union], mathematical circle[with my little brother], you failed your math test, Comrade Einstein; textbook: some problem books on physics(that is in the physics folder), a course of mathematical analysis and problems in plane geometry). But it's okay, anon, just because you don't read the many books you download, don't assume others do the same.
>>8136104
Different anon here, I've collected books in the past without reading them, and as of the last year I've been starting a new collection of books while reading them. You should try the same instead of assuming everyone is as much of a failure as you and professing your wisdom as a failure. You can't improve someone else, but you can improve yourself.

Flat Land by Edwin Abbott Abbott...yes that right two last names =)
this was a nice read
crazy seeing how slow mathematical development really is compared to when its all just laid out in a definition-theorem-proof style book
>>8136189
and here's another good one, especially if you're feeling unmotivated/incomptent mathematically
>>8135241
For pdfs, I use FoxIt, pretty great after you tweak some settings. For epubs and mobis and whatever, you can use SumatraPDF.
>implying there can be too many book threads on /sci/

How is it a troll? It's just a simple category.
>>8135241
sumatra

evince for pdfs & djvus and calibre for epubs on gahnoo forward slash linux.
>>8135241
sumatra. goes amazingly well with texnic center
>>8135241
GNU's less

What's a good non textbook math book for someone who has a degree in math? Looking for some "light" reading this summer.
>>8142723
Any of Gardner's puzzle books.
