Dover Math Book Collection

[@adryanblack13]

Thank you Dover for making learning advanced math and physics affordable

[@budgarner3522]

I still have a few Dover books from my BS in Applied Math days.You've inspired me to go back to my old Leithold Calc book and begin to work problems. Surprised by how much I still remember from 1971.

[@Jason-bg7jc]

I love the Morris Kline Calculus Dover book. I use it from time to time to supplement my Calculus classes and I appreciate the straightforward manner it's written. Thank you Dover for keeping these classics alive.

[@deepakvenkatesh5166]

I have a few Dover books. I really like the George Andrews Number Theory book. Aside. My 5 year old likes a dover book! A book called Introductory Graph Theory by Gary Chartrand. It has some ‘puzzles’ and when she is bored she asks me to give her puzzles which should look like graphs. I gave her the Konisberg bridge problem and she thinks I have tricked her. Though she doesn’t know carry over sums in arithmetic but she loves these graph problems. I think pattern recognition and common sense puzzles intrigue children.

[@argonwheatbelly637]

Love Dover! Still have a bunch.

[@alexddh]

Dover Publications has also published original modern books in mathematics in what they call Aurora Series. One of those books is "Calculus: A Rigorous First Course", by Daniel J. Velleman. This is the same guy who wrote "How to prove it". I think both books are great. I bought the latter on your recommendation and I'd really like to hear your comments on the calculus book. It covers calc I and II and it takes a very rigorous approach but in a very comprehensible way. Thank you so much, Math Sorcerer. I'll wait for the video on Velleman's calculus book.

[@Meccano562]

The Dover books always have a proper mathematical front cover.

[@Hobby4health]

i really enjoy the simple but pleasing cover art

[@mlliarm]

I love math Dover books, and happy to see some of the ones I have in this pile:)) Keep it up ! Allan's Clark is absolutely marvelous!

[@danielpalmer643]

Great. Thanks for this video! Each one is cheap, but the entire collection is probably thousands of dollars, so it's nice to see which ones are better priorities.

[@chasefoxen]

A numerical analysis video would be great. Especially with something related to engineering like out of Kreyszig's Advanced Engineering Mathematics

[@douglasstrother6584]

Really Old School typesetting, indeed. The Cuneiform brings back so many childhood memories.

[@edwardsmith-rowland2852]

You know you're getting old when your College textbooks show up as Dover reprints. But Dover books are very high-quality and very reasonably priced.

[@douglasstrother6584]

I still have my copy of "Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems" by Boyce & DiPrima. I used the IIIrd Edition; it is now in its XIIth Edition. Sorry, I'm still getting used to this new numbering system: I used the 3rd Edition; it is now in its 12th Edition.

[@chasefoxen]

Been looking forward to this video! I love Dover books

[@tenminuteretreat807]

I love Dover Books! I've been buying them for thirty years. The abstract designs on many of the math covers just seem to suit the subject.

[@homerthompson416]

I took a topology class from Terry Tao and we used that Gamelin and Greene Topology book; everyone I knew in the class loved it. Has that kind of Baby Rudin style but with lots of illuminating diagrams that make it actually readable unlike Rudin, though there are still plenty of proofs in it you'll have to chew on for a while to understand. Easily my favorite Dover book.

[@vmvoropaev]

Im also thankful to Emily Riehl for publishing her category theory textbook with dover. It was such a pleasant surprise that a recomended textbook for one of my courses didnt cost 60+ euro.

[@rationalsceptic7634]

I love all your Books...filled with amazing Maths and inspirational teaching!!

[@Telecomengineeringisfun]

Great video. I’ve been considering for months if Andrew’s book was a good addition to my bookshelf, and I think you gave me many good reasons for buying it. I’ve got a small collection of dover books that are not exactly college level, but are great for self study. It includes Kline’s “Mathematics and the Physical World”, JR Pierce’s “An Introduction to information theory” (this one being more interdisciplinary) and “Excursions in Number Theory” by Ogilvy and Anderson. About numerical analysis, I think it’s worth mentioning “Introduction to Applied Numerical Analysis” by Hamming: weird and lacking in rigor, but concentrating on the experimental nature of the subject; the more enciclopedic “Numerical methods for scientists and engineers” is even better, not an introductory book indeed.

[@alphafound3459]

I was listening and thought I recognized the first author. Sure enough, I have the Dover edition of Introduction to Analysis by Rosenlicht and Number Theory by Andrews. I got curious and counted 11 Dover books, mostly on subjects that I did not take in school.

[@TheMathSorcerer]

that is just awesome!

[@boogerie]

Here's another Dover Book recommendation for you "The Philosophy of Set Theory: An Historical Introduction to Cantor's Paradise" by Mary Tiles. No exercises. This is a book you READ.

[@PhillipRhodes]

Hah! I have that same "About Vectors" book by Hoffmann. I just started working through it a couple of weeks ago. I thought it would an interesting complement to some Calc III and Linear Algebra stuff I've been going through.

[@santiagovillagomez9217]

Hello Sorcerer! Greetings from Ecuador! Thanks for the content you upload, it has been useful for me as a Math undergraduate student. I wanted to do a request: Perhaps you could do a review of the Art of Problem Solving series or others alike that develop mathematical maturity instead of really advanced topics? Thank you very much :)

[@bluelagoon5235]

I got this really fun little Dover book on Boolean Algebra by R.L. Goodstein. It covers the material and provides complete solutions to all the problems in under 140 pages! The text itself is excellent and very easy to learn from, though it approaches Boolean Algebra from a set theory and pure math background and does not apply the topic to electrical circuits. It's worth the purchase!

[@BlastFromYesterday]

I guess I have started a collection of Dover math books, as well. I like the cover art and the books are reasonably priced, especially used copies. I have "Introduction to Graph Theory", "Mathematics for the Non-Mathematician", "Taxicab Geometry", "Introduction to Linear Algebra", and "An Elementary Introduction to the Theory of Probability". I haven't worked through any of them... When I was done with my math sequence in college, I looked through the catalog and saw all this other math that I never heard of and I've been fascinated since then. Hopefully I can work through, and make sense of, some of the books I have! Not sure if or how I'd apply any of the knowledge; I would be learning for learning's sake.

Necesitamos la versión de esté vídeo en tu canal en español , la Editorial Dover tiene las 3 "Bs" en Español BBB porque son Buenos, Bonitos y Baratos !!

[@zachhaberler3903]

I am newer to self study of maths but I find the Dover books great because i have distaste for reading maths digitally via pdfs and don't want to spend the ridiculously high costs other publishers charge for newer books. I read the Hoffman book About Vectors before Linear Algebra self study and I found it was a great lead in book for what was covered.

[@OrdenJust]

One of the Dover books that I like is Hans Sagan's book on the Calculus of Variations. There are other books that are dedicated to the subject, but I found them lacking in rigor and clarity. Sometimes topics from the Calc. Of Variations are treated in cursory fashion in, say, physics textbooks, where one can get the impression that the subject is ad hoc. I read a while ago the novelization of the movie Charlie, which was based on the sci-fi story Flowers For Algernon. I was curious what the author would have Charlie Gordon studying when his brain had reached its peak IQ. One of the things was he was studying the calculus of variations. I guess that was the author's idea of the most advanced mathematics possible. I don't remember the other things Charlie Gordon was studying, except for grammatical subtleties in the Urdu language.

[@tichalagaming7853]

Sir u inspired me to study maths thank you so much plz keep guiding us 🙏

[@dennisbell9639]

I have four of these books.May I suggest a book by Albert H.Beiler Recreations in the Theory of Numbers (Dover), originally printed in 1964.There is a very interesting chapter on figurate numbers.

[@pinedelgado4743]

Dr. MS, I think that ANYONE who appreciates math books and the math that is in them will truly appreciate Dover math books and have at least a few of them in their possession as I have! I've got LOADS of them in my personal math library, :) :) :) :)

[@rstanyan]

My first Dover books were the three volumes of Euclid’s Elements I got a Borders in high school!

[@kgoonleo7681]

Could you review the autobiography of Halmos, 'I Want to be a Mathematician'? I suspect you may have read it because in one clip, you mentioned Halmos' studying habits, which leads me to believe that you have read the book. Thanks to you, I started reading it and I am having lots of fun. I think the book is a must-read for people who study math seriously. I know it is not the kind of books that you usually review, but I really want to know your opinion about the book. So if you have a copy and read it already, please consider it. Thank you for everything!

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Oh I don't have that one yet! It's kind of pricey. I will get it eventually:) It sounds very interesting. I do have several books by Halmos and I've read about it and the things he has said. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[@kgoonleo7681]

@@TheMathSorcerer Thank you for the reply! And please get the book if you have a chance, I guarantee that you will not regret.

[@snowyboots2706]

Thanks so much for doing this video, really appreciate it 😊

[@TheMathSorcerer]

You are so welcome!

[@Larrym-rz5bk]

Yes, please do something on numerical analysis. Essential for solving most real world DEs and PDEs. Ralston and Rabinowitz is very good, also Cheney and Kincaid. Perhaps others could suggest more.

[@IcyTorment]

Have you considered doing a review video of the Kline Calculus book in the Dover series? Lots of people seem to like that one.

[@actuariallurker9650]

I think I may have EVERY one of the books you listed and MANY more- Dover, Springer, GTM etc, Similar with Physics....as I was a DOUBLE major in Math and Physics way back when

[@kathieharine5982]

Any book with "Counterexamples" in the title is worth its weight in gold. I see two in your stack.

[@dimitrioskalfakis]

appropriate pizza analogy. dover books 'fed' me during my 20s.

[@flavius3896]

I collect many Dover books. I read old books. I read the original classics. I avoid derivative works. In addition they are pretty inexpensive in second hand bookstores.

[@firstname4337]

I was thinking about getting a dover book on introduction to graph theory

[@hockeyKid7749]

Thank you for this video, Dover books are really good for quality and price, I wish they can have digital version as well, it's digital time now...

[@blackened89]

I’m kinda waiting on your list of books for numerical analysis and your perspectives regarding that subject

[@Cresppo]

As a guy who likes Algebra, my favorites are: Basic Algebra I & II (JACOBSON), Lie Algebra (JACOBSON)

[@DavidVonR]

I have a lot of these math books! I read almost all of the one on number theory.

[@Kitty_Kankles]

Thinking about buying Tensor Analysis on Manifolds from Dover, do you have an opinions on that?

[@TheMathSorcerer]

I don't have that one yet, I should get it too! I collect books so, I think they are all worth it:)

[@TheMathSorcerer]

Just got a copy off amazon lol:) It's so cheap!

[@daniellindner826]

Thank you for making the video and showing us you dover book collection. I plan on buying more dover books in the future for my math degree. What is your opinion on the discrete mathematics book by Epp ? Do you think its a good book for learning logic, equivalence relations etc ? how does it compare tothe Vellmann book ?

[@TheFatesLieutenant]

I love Dover!

[@3.1415casso]

Nice video!:) I would like to see your collection of number theory books. Did you study any advanced books on this topic? Have a nice day!:')

[@IcyTorment]

One thing I'll point out for those on a budget: A lot of these books are available on Kindle for under $10.

[@navierstokes2356]

Springer next?

[@GalileanInvariance]

Hello Math Sorcerer ... I strongly encourage you to do a review/survey of the Schaum's Outlines Series in Mathematics, and in particular Murray R. Spiegel (Ph.D.), who did a wonderful job of writing many of the the outlines on various topics in that series ... For myself and many others, these outlines along with the Dover books greatly facilitated our efforts, and contributed to our success, while in graduate school.

[@scootergirl3662]

I love the internet, but there is something about opening a physical book and getting started studying it. It’s addicting

11 months later (and 18,846 views Feb 22, 2023), First Order Mathematical Logic (Dover Books on Mathematics) says "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Not saying your video was causal, but next time I see one of these I'll try to get there that day.

How come? How come, if all these books are reprinted from original books printed by various publishers and written by different people, they all have the same page size?

That’s what you pay for. It takes work to do that consistently. And Dover does that.
