Independent Education

And a Sieg Heil to you too. Stay doing maths instead of social engineering subversion and you don't get gassed. At most deported if you step out of your containment desert.

I was only pretending to be a Jew. TFW National Socialist at heart, but conflicted over respect for many positive contributions to the sciences that Jews have made, even if Einstein's are slightly embellished. During the National Socialist period, David Hilbert even commented on this:
Perhaps the best solution is to confine Jews to things they do quite well, and stamp out the social engineering for good.

[cont] Perhaps I'll do an "Aryan pill" list of math and physics later, but it's really hard to avoid Landau. A "soviet pill" would be easy to comprise thus, which would allow me to strongly recommend Shafarevich's linear algebra text. Funny enough he's was accused of anti-semitism.

if you haven't already done at least calculus and can't comfortably do proofs, for the love of god don't take this anons meme-troll advice OP, for your own sake.

They're all excellent recommendations and top tier books, but if you're rusty in basic high school math this will just be an enormously inefficient use of your time. Courant is notoriously difficult, even more so than Spivak. Shilov is a very difficult and non intuitive introduction to LA, as it is meant for a second treatment, and rightfully so.

And as a response to this user, have you read all these books personally?

Personally, I do agree with starting just above your comfort level in maths and filling in the blanks as you go along (as opposed to going back to first grade maths and inching forward). But the above list is a bit much unless OP is already a maths major or equally self educated.

If you're rusty with high school math, start with Stewart, if it's too ez try Spivak. Fill in the gaps accordingly as you go.

after stewart/spivak, start with a physics text if that's what you want. but don't worry about that yet, you'll be able to make a better book choice after finishing stewart/spivak, and either one is a big, long book, so it's gonna be awhile anyway.

im still tryna learn how to learn foriegn languages, so no advice there, but glhf

Use a book that's on what, it's 16th edition? No one should touch that literal faggot's college scam book. Spivak or Apostol are much better alternatives to Stewart.

Courant's book is designed for someone who has finished highschool. I am also making the assumption that a person on Zig Forums has a higher IQ than the average man. You could also read his 'What is Mathematics?' If you wanted a more general survey of the landscape, and if your highschool was shit, Gelfand has some elementary books on Trigonometry, and Algebra.

Pretty much with the exception of the Landau series which I have only made slight progress in. I either have familiarity with the others or have gone through alternatives I deem of comparable difficulty. In some cases the more 'difficult' books are easier than those listed, but I was sticking to a (((theme))).

you can pirate any addition. I should say that the stewart recommendation only holds if OP isn't looking to buy necessarily. though it is often dirt cheap at thrift stores around unis. There is a plethora of intro calc books that will suffice, but this is the one I had personal experience with.

Secondly, I did misread Courant - I thought you were referencing his "differential and integral calculus" book. I have no experience with the book you've actually recommended, but it sounds more applicable at least.

WiM? and Gelfand are both solid recs. I also like Axler and expii.com/ for more 'precalc' like stuff.

nice. I hope to be there soon enough, I'm about halfway through the list if you include "alternatives I deem of comparable difficulty".

rec some /prog/ books?

Argh, I cannot stand reading on my computer, so despite the fact that I have over 50 gigs of books on my hard drive, I do have to buy deadtree books for ones I really like.

I unironically like this one, but it is only something I dip into every now and then, I won't claim to have read it cover to cover, but it's absolutely full of gems.

And of course for each language, try to read from the designers themselves, or those on the language committees.

Probably forgot to list some good ones, but I'm more interested in learning physics and electronics at the moment, so that's where my mind is at.

I know ereaders (actual e-ink readers) are computers too, but fwiw they make it somewhat more /comfy/. not quite dead tree levels of comfort, but certainly closer than the traditional laptop LCD squinting that I also dislike.

thx for the recs, I see ur also a patrician meme-canon master.

interesting and sensible, thanks! I'll keep that in mind ffr.

if you don't mind another question, is
