Whether it’s assigned reading for education or a personal interest in maths, mathematics books cover everything from entry-level concepts to advanced niche areas. There’s a whole world of information to be found amongst them, and plenty of lessons to be learned even for expert-level mathematicians.
H2: Best-selling mathematics books
There are few names as well known in mathematics as Richard P. Feynman, which is perhaps why it’s no surprise that his book Six Easy Pieces is a best-seller. This title dives into the essentials of physics using material from Feynman’s series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology. It is an excellent introduction into the fundamentals of physics, complete with examples and illustrations.
Another best-seller is Fooled by Randomness. This book discusses the hidden role of chance in life and in the markets, and helps the reader to understand that certain things are often decided more by sheer luck (or lack thereof) rather than inherent skill. Author Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a Professor of Risk Engineering, and has turned down all the awards and honours offered to him as he doesn’t like the idea of knowledge sharing becoming competitive.
H2: Statistics books
Statistics books help us to understand the world around us through numbers.
Statistics Without Tears is a light-hearted approach to the subject, in which author Derek Rowntree introduces non-mathematicians to statistics. It assumes no expert knowledge to start with, and provides words and diagrams rather than figures and equations, making for a highly beginner-friendly read.
Mind on Statistics is designed for teachers, and has been created as a guide for educators to engage with students to motivate and inspire them to learn statistics. It highlights the importance of finding the meaning in data that impacts daily life to help learners connect with the subject in a very real way.
H2: Calculus books
Calculus is notoriously difficult, which is why there is a subsection of precalculus books. These books bridge the gap between standard high school maths and more advanced university and professional level books. There are a number of books in this subsection, such as Precalculus, which approaches the subject by teaching readers that they must understand the graphical, numerical, and algebraic basis of a problem in order to solve it.
More advanced calculus books can be found under the calculus and mathematical analysis book section. For example, Multidimensional Differential and Integral Calculus offers students an in-depth, practical take on the subject primarily oriented to applications.
