Woah you must be a nobelist if youve actually read all those books

I have something like 8-10 books because I dont buy another book in the same subject before doing the previous books

>buying books

>>10555379
Pirating is un-honorable.

>>10555376
I like collecting books. One of the reasons is because I want to left a huge collection for my sons, grandsons etc, so they can have as much mathematical knowldge as they want at their disposal.

>>10555355
would be better if i could see the title of any of the books

>>10555355
that is prof tier

Reminder: The Chad Academic -

1.) Keeps all his textbooks from classes
2.) Reads them just for the fun
3.) Has at least two rows of books
4.) Has textbooks in a diverse range of topics

Time to take /ChadBookshelf/ pill /sci/

are these the german reclam books you can buy for next to nothing?

Don’t have one because I’m not a dumbshit and use libgen

>>10556411
If you're on /sci/, you're most likely not a dumb shit, probably just have a huge inferiority complex.

Looks comfy asf

>>10555379
That doesn't get you a physical copy (unless you're doing a much more hardcore kind of pirating). It's better than nothing, sure, but I don't want to stare at a PDF for hours each day while I work through a GTM book.

>sorting by publisher

>>10556028
nice collection. hep-ex?

>>10555388
that's the gayest thing I've ever read
why not just teach them how to acquire books instead of aimlessly amassing them for people you don't even know will use them?

>>10556387
based

>>10555376
I see a bunch of GTM books. I don't know anyone that works through those cover-to-cover (which would take weeks for each even if you did nothing else).
You generally hit the basic chapters and/or whatever specific things you're interested in.

After a certain point you stop going to classes but you still meed to learn. Going cover-to-cover is by that point a reasonable strategy---but still not everyone does it that way

>>10558576
>cover to cover
Strat 1: Get two subjects and a couple books on each subject. Read through one (don't hurry, but don't force yourself to memorize every definition, solve exercises randomly, feel free to drop any if they don't come immediately), then swap to the other subject, and repeat. If you ever pick up any new subjects, read the Appendix even if you still remember.
Pros: forgetting and remembering builds long term memory, doesn't kill your motivation, knowledge of different ways of presenting a subject.
Cons: there are some absolutely essential insights that refuse to come from anything other than problem solving.
Strat 2: flip through the chapter, get to the exercises. Try to solve them, and search for theorems and techniques you can use to do so.
Pros: gets you to the general basis of problem solving in the subject, having a straight objective helps you absorb the examples and theorems in the text.
Cons: will tire you unless you like the subject, less long term memory, the book needs exercises to begin with.

Ain't no one, except for candy-ass theorists, got time for that. There is research to be done.

And projective geometry texts aren't necessarily algeo texts.

Thanks lad I was unaware

>>10561318
Did you get all those from the library? Or do you accually own those books?

>>10562534
welcome to the universe was a good read, also that rubik's cube is bothering the fuck out of me

>>10562539
Most of them from the library but I replace them with my own as soon as I like them and are affordable. My favourite books are atiyah macdonald and aluffis algebra but they cost like 100$ which is unreasonable. I may also buy Bosch's CM AG since the CM part covers Atiyah Mac almost word for word and more and is clearer.

Basically all the ones that have library stickers are from the library.

> paying the jews money so you can understand something better is honorable

lol

>>10562545
Yeah. It has a good derivation of rest mass energy. Andmy favorite chapters were the ones on relitivity and life elsewhere in the universe.

Also I won the Princeton companion for graduating with the highest grade in my class, otherwise I wouldn't have got it

>>10562562
I prefer reading a page than a screen. It's easier on the vision, it's easier to backtrack and you can read anywhere comfortably

>>10563331
Don't you have any university with a library nearby?

This doesn't look scientific at all.

What a beautiful mathematics book

Sometimes I like to fantasize, that after nuclear war my collection will help people recreate human knowledge. But probably it'll be burnt right after my death by whoever will own my home at that time.

>>10566017
Hey fellow Polak anon, who is the author of that Quantum Electrodynamics book? I've been thinking about learning a bit about this field (started with entry level Feynman books), so would you recommend it? Is Polish literature on this topic on par with english counterparts?

Niezła kolekcja btw, jaka dziedzina i stopień?

>>10566017

What do you think of Waclaw Sierpinski, one of the greatest (top 100 for sure, possibly top 50) and most prolific (his output is Euler/Erdos territory) mathematicians of all time? :3

Its pretty weird when people talk in 3rd person, but hell even I do that sometimes. 2nd person is truly bizarre. Also "hast/dost" are past tense.

hey guys, I hate to be that homo, but I really wanted to stop being one of those pseudos who thinks he knows shit, and actually learn things that would aid in my pursuit of mathematical and scientific knowledge.
