Elementary Linear Algebra, Third Edition1 review Stephen Andrilli, David Hecker Academic Press, 2003 Good introductory text to linear algebra This is a good textbook with many solved and unsolved problems. I like the fact that it have many examples (one of the final chapters is applications of linear algebra to various fields) without sacrificing mathematical rigor (at the degree it is needed in an undergrad textbook). I didn't like the ...             Advanced Calculus3 reviews Gerald B. Folland Prentice Hall, 2001 not too good... I can't really think of good things to say about this book... There aren't enough problems & definitely not enough examples (like 1 or 2 in each section). The explanation is ok but more examples would have made this book much more helpful. This book is pretty average. I don't know if the Schaum's ...             Calculus, 8th Edition23 reviews Dale Varberg, Edwin J. Purcell, ... Prentice Hall, 2000 awesome + Good! i ordered it and got it in a very good condition and in time. customer service is awesome. my blessings. keep up the good work.             Topological Spaces: From Distance to Neighborhood (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)3 reviews Gerard Buskes, Arnoud van Rooij Springer, 1997 I wish all math books were like this... + probably the best undergraduate level topology book + Best book ever on topology! I'm a graduate student in mathematics and this is one of the few math books I can highly recommend. Topological concepts are made intuitive, so when you get to the formal definitions, they are no surprise, you even expect them. Sometimes it is explained why a 'seemingly obvious solution' doesn't ...             Elementary Number Theory9 reviews Gareth A. Jones, Josephine M. Jones Springer, 1998 Excellent intro book on number theory + Satisfied Customer + I Hate Number Theory + If you are a beginner, this is the book + Great buy for aspiring cryptographers             Set Theory and Logic5 reviews Robert R. Stoll Dover Publications, 1979 Good book that falls short of being a great book. + Incredible Best Buy + Unusually clear treatment of very abstract matters. This book is very well written and easy to understand. However, it has a very serious shortcoming: there are no solutions to the exercises. If you're looking for a basic reference, this book is good, but if you want a book you can use to learn set theory and logic, get one that has solutions to ...             Introductory Analysis: The Theory of Calculus7 reviews John A. Fridy Academic Press, 2000 One of The Best Books On Introductory Analysis + Good for self-study + HELPUL When I got this book I feel in love with it! This is a great book on introductory analysis. It even has a section multivariate analysis. I highly recommend it's use in introductory mathematical analysis courses. There is only one book I could compare with this book and it is Steven R. Lay's ...             Linear Algebra (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics)2 reviews Larry Smith Springer, 1998 A very good on linear algebra! I found the book to be very thorough and well written. It seemed very easy to understand except for the chapter on Jordan Canonical Forms. However, I would not recommend this book to someone who is learning it for the first time, unless they have a high degree of mathematical maturity. Try the ...             Elementary Number Theory (5th Edition)11 reviews Kenneth H. Rosen Addison Wesley, 2004 Excellent introduction to a vast, fascinating subject + Moderately Helpful This book is awesome. Tons of material covered, but at a decent pace and with good examples. All the reader needs is a good working knowledge of how to read and construct proofs, and the time and patience to get through the material. The exercises range from the computational to the theoretical, ...             First Course in Abstract Algebra, A (7th Edition)24 reviews John B. Fraleigh Addison Wesley, 2002 Fraleigh? awesome, sure + Fraleigh put into perspective This book was my introduction to algebra, and I can say that with me it hit its target - I not only learned and understood abstract algebra, but I grew to love it and be thrilled by it. If you are outside of mathematics and looking for the way in, I don't think you can do much better than ...             Elements of Differential Geometry5 reviews Richard S. Millman, George D. Parker Prentice Hall, 1977 A solid introduction + understandable, clear differential geometry book + Took the class and the book + A Perfect Introduction             Analysis: With an Introduction to Proof (4th Edition)6 reviews Steven R. Lay Prentice Hall, 2004 Great book + Great Book for Intro to Analysis + good to go + Definitely a good first text             First Course in Abstract Algebra, A (3rd Edition)5 reviews Joseph J. Rotman Prentice Hall, 2005 Excellent Introduction To Algebra + Excellent and aproacheable! Rotman's book is a standard for first courses in Abstract Algebra. The book is easy to read and includes plenty of problems to work on. He even includes several standard syllabi in the preface, depending on the type of course that may be taught with it. It begins with some number theory, then ...             Mathematical Reasoning: Writing and Proof2 reviews Ted A. Sundstrom Prentice Hall, 2002 Very Helpful This book was very helpful. I have a better understanding of how to construct a proof and what proofs are best in each situation. The book also gave plenty of examples of proofs of theorems so you had something to compare your proof too. It also give some answers and hints to selected problems in ...             Algebra: Pure and Applied1 review Aigli Papantonopoulou Prentice Hall, 2001 Perfect for Beginning Algebra Students I used this as a textbook for an Abstract algebra course I took recently. It was surprisingly readable, and more importantly, there are plenty of examples that illustrate the definitions and theorems they've given. Just a single complaint: There are times when important definitions are introduced ...             Calculus149 reviews James Stewart Brooks Cole, 2002 Good textbook! As a math/chemistry major I am working on a thorough review of calculus theory and concepts this summer in preparation for my fall classes.This text is a very good introduction to calculus and analytic geometry. Provides both the theory behind the math as well as plenty of attention to practical ...             Elementary Methods in Number Theory Melvyn B. Nathanson Springer, 1999 Elementary Methods in Number Theory begins with "a first course in number theory" for students with no previous knowledge of the subject. The main topics are divisibility, prime numbers, and congruences. There is also an introduction to Fourier analysis on finite abelian groups, and a discussion on the abc conjecture and its consequences in elementary number theory. In the second and third parts ...             Topics in the Theory of Numbers Paul Erdos, Janos Suranyi, ... Springer, 2003 This rather unique book is a guided tour through number theory. While most introductions to number theory provide a systematic and exhaustive treatment of the subject, the authors have chosen instead to illustrate the many varied subjects by associating recent discoveries, interesting method, and unsolved problems. In particular, we read about combinatorial problems in number theory, a branch ...             Set Theory and Logic5 reviews Robert R.
