Advanced Calculus
Patrick M. Fitzpatrick
Brooks Cole, 2005
A readable analysis text (esp. chapters on vector function)
This is a very good book. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn calculus on a rigorous level.
This text is very readable. Unlike most analysis texts out there that focus on rigor without any intuition, Fitzpatrick strikes the perfect balance. The topics are well spaced (via the ...

Cohomology of Groups (Graduate Texts in Mathematics, No. 87)
Kenneth S. Brown
Springer, 1982
As a second year graduate textbook, Cohomology of Groups introduces students to cohomology theory (involving a rich interplay between algebra and topology) with a minimum of prerequisites. No homological algebra is assumed beyond what is normally learned in a first course in algebraic topology. The basics of the subject are given (along with exercises) before the author discusses more specialized ...

Methods of Mathematical Physics, Vol. 1
R. Courant, D. Hilbert
Wiley-Interscience, 1989
courant studied mechanics and mathematics
+ The best book available
+ This book is a classics, but perhaps not exhaustive
i noted this book (the asia private edition) when i was a junior student taking engineering math III. now i note vol.1 is for vibration phenomenon, while vol.2 is for wave phenomenon. the material is over a century. birth day is 1924, while the golden age of quantum mechanics is 1925. a modern ...

Complex Analysis (Graduate Texts in Mathematics)
Serge Lang
Springer, 2003
sweet dude
+ Excellent, but inconsistent pace, unnecessary proofs in early chapters...
+ Not TOO complex
I dont like lang's algebra, ugrad linear algebra, or diff/riemannian manifolds books all that much, but i LOVED this one.
I think an undergrad with calculus and patience can read it.
there are characteristic lang-style things like research-oriented material, and he actually has examples. He ...

K-theory (Advanced Book Classics)
Michael Atiyah
Westview Press, 1994
Solid introduction; but..
You'd think, at these notorious prices, that the publisher would have made a solid effort to cast these notes in a more engaging and readable form (i.e. to have them beautifully typeset, and do them some justice long after they were first published), as this still is the authoritative ...

Advanced General Relativity (Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics)
John Stewart
Cambridge University Press, 1993
treasure trove of knowledge
+ The only book for advanced GR
It seems to me that there are far too many in number, and far too few in quality, books on on general relativity. John Stewart, rather than waste time on the hordes of cute little cartoon models apt for a tourist rather than physicist, gets straight to the heart of the matter and presents ...

Topics in Group Theory (Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series)
Geoff Smith, Olga Tabachnikova
Springer, 2000
The theory of groups is simultaneously a branch of abstract algebra and the study of symmetry. Designed to support a reader engaged in a first serious group theory course, or a mathematically mature reader approaching the subject for the first time, this book reviews the essentials. It recaps the basic definitions and results, up to and including Lagranges Theorem, and then continues to explore ...
