<p>What are some good undergraduate level books, particularly good introductions to (Real and Complex) Analysis, Linear Algebra, Algebra or Differential/Integral Equations (but books in any undergraduate level topic would also be much appreciated)?</p> <p>EDIT: More topics (Affine, Euclidian, Hyperbolic, Descriptive &amp; Diferential Geometry, Probability and Statistics, Numerical Mathematics, Distributions and Partial Equations, Topology, Algebraic Topology, Mathematical Logic etc)</p> <p><strong>Please post only one book per answer</strong> so that people can easily vote the books up/down and we get a nice sorted list. If possible post a link to the book itself (if it is freely available online) or to its amazon or google books page.</p>

<p>Some people have trouble understanding that (and why is) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999..." rel="nofollow">0.999... = 1</a></p>

<p>Does this even make sense what I translated into english?</p> <p>PS. I am probably gonna delete this question eventually</p>

Or you could just tell them x = 0.999... 10 * x = 9.999... 9 * x = 9 x = 1

..also I suggest a &quot;Hide Question&quot; option for users who are tired of seeing a question pop on the home page

I asked the question because I am an undergraduate student and want to learn more about math... A lot of great books were recommended here and I guess what was suggested so far is more then enough for me to read... So at this point I don't really care about the policies at MathOverflow but my friendly advice is given in the preceding comment... And NO I'm not gonna create a new account for meta just for one post &#172;_&#172;

I don't have enough rep to rate anything and I only skimmed through the meta discussion but essentially what the mods did is bad for the website... Most websites start with one thing and then change their purpose by the will of the users... Otherwise they fail miserably as soon as some competition shows up... So the final judgment for closure &quot;The system was created for people looking for precise answers to precise questions. Big list questions were an emergent phenomenon&quot; is generally a flawed mindset.

Hey thanks guys (both of you) :) But I have to delete the question eventually since I can't let my friend see I suck at math :PPP

Serbian: Da li je samo kod normalnih matrica matrica prelaska na svojstvenu bazu unitarna?

I don't really know what I'm asking... A physics friend of mine asked me this (in another language though) and I'm just re-asking it here (translated) :P

@Anton: It's OK :)

Oh OK, thanks... Wow 3 moderators? <i>feels special</i> (sorry I have to have 15 chars min) :P

OK... Do I need to do something to make it a community wiki or is it already like that?
