THe recent discussion of funny math books prompts me to attempt to gather a small list of outstanding math books. Please send me the names of a small number of math books you think are outstanding, along with a few lines' description of the book and why you think it's so good. I will summarize to the net. Since I am not a die-hard purist, please send anything that you think is relevant to the readers of this newsgroup (e.g. good numerical methods texts, probability and statistics, or whatever). -- Norman Ramsey norman@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu Pianist at Large
