Hello all,
I'm going to be studying abroad next semester in Budapest,
Hungary, and thinking ahead for the 10+ hour plane ride I'm going to
have (along with loads of downtime the first week or so), I was
wondering if anyone could suggest an interesting math or physics book I
could read during that time. I'm not looking for any kind of textbook
or anything here, but still something intelligent that I can pick up at
a Barnes & Noble or Borders or something along those lines. I've seen
the book "Not Even Wrong" by Peter Woit a couple of places, has anyone
been fortunate enough to read that yet?
Any input / suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Courant and Robbins, What is Mathematics?
Davis and Hersh, The Mathematical Experience.
Lindley, Making Decisions.
Why not work through one of the following classic texts? Bring along a
pad of paper.
Halmos, Finite-Dimensional Vectoir Spaces.
_____, Naive Set Theory.
Spivak, Calculus on Manifolds.
