Hey /sci/, mathfag here. I know this is a request, but /r/ is no help. I'm going into pure mathematics in college, but I'm doing some studying and proof work on my own. I'm curious if anyone knows a place to find Dover books in PDF format online, or if anyone has specific books. I have the books IRL, but I would like to put them on my kindle for easy access without scanning every page and going through a lot of pain. The books I'm using are: Introduction to Topology (2nd edition) by Gamelin and Greene, Elementary Real and Complex Analysis by Shilov, and Advanced Calculus (2nd edition) by Widder. Or, if anyone has heard of these and knows if they're actually good or bad or just tips in general (studying-wise or book recommendation-wise or proof-wise or whatever), that would be helpful. Thanks /sci/! If not, general higher maths/maths discussion thread.

In my experience, the best resource for math textbooks is Library Genesis:
http://free-books.dontexist.com/

Note that the URL changes from time to time, probably for legal reasons, but a Google search for Library Genesis usually turns up the current location.

Many of the books there are in DjVu format, but they can be converted to PDF (or several other formats) with this (or other tools):
