| A lot of recommendations depend on what you're trying to learn. But I've enjoyed the following texts to a larger extent than others: - Algebra: Chapter 0 (Aluffi) - Real Mathematical Analysis (Pugh) - Mathematics and its History (Stillwell) - An Introduction to Manifolds (Tu) - Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity (Baez) - A First Look at Rigorous Probability Theory (Rosenthal) - All of Statistics (Wasserman) There are some authors I trust and am happy to buy so long as the topic vaguely interests me: VI Arnold, Tristan Needham and John Stillwell. I really like the list put out by @enriquto in a separate comment, but I've avoided duplicating those recommendations in the list above. |
