You own an impressive bookshelf, overflowing with a wide range of mathematics and physics textbooks, in addition to numerous works on philosophy and various scientific fields, don't you? On Sunday mornings, it seems that you often choose to spend your time engrossed in some of these math textbooks, thoroughly studying and solving every problem that the books have to offer, all the while savoring the warm and soothing taste of Lipton tea, right?

"No?" I'm intrigued by your response. What do you mean by "no"? . Don't you want to follow in the footsteps of this esteemed physicist and Nobel laureate, Richard Feynman?

My wife doesn't allow me to put my textbooks on the shelf in the living room. She says they don't belong there and her friends would consider me a weirdo if they saw those books. But apparently her "Shades of Gray" and similar trashy erotic novels are perfectly fine for our guests to see.

I used this one from dynamics class. Doesn't go
deeper than linear algebra and ODE's. Plenty
of practical examples and questions to do, with
introductions of chaos and dynamics topics to
get the taste of the whole branch without going
too deep. Good for reference and practical usage/

That photoshop job is great. I might have been fooled if I didn't recognize the meme pics strewn in there, like the laughing women on the bottom or holo shooped onto a thick book in the middle.

Science helps you accurately predict the movements of the Shadows
Philosophy lets you escape the cave
One who has seen the light outside the cave cares not for the accolades of those who can predict the Shadows

Feyman only needed all those books because he didn't have a usb drive that could hold a digital copy of every book in the library of congress.

Thanks, but if its the original kindle version it wont work, if its a PDF then its too big and when compressed its still a PDF file instead of the book. I got the PDF on it, its a hassle though, cant adjust font size, pages misalign etc.

I'll just upgrade the Kindle and actually take the time to label the PDFs so theyre not strings of numbers and shit.

Til then I'll ponder the orbital harmonics detailed in Kepler's book.

I do own a bookshelf of textbooks, most are old textbooks I bought for cheap or found on the campus, got from professors who were moving departments etc.
I got a logic and sef theory exercise book that way. It's pocket sized, has bare minimum definitions and you have to prove everything yourself based on them.
Since I'm a molecular biologist and not a mathematician I use this book to develop rigour and attention to detail.
