Today, we are gonna be rating math book publishers. This is not a complete list, but the publishers listed here are those of which I have five or more books. I made no attempt whatsoever at being objective. If your favorite publisher gets rated lower than you'd like, it is because I personally do not find utility in their books. It does not mean that I believe that that publisher should go out of business. www.patreon.com/c/mathematicaltoolbox/membership Amazon Affiliate/Paid Links: Dover Probability and Stochastic Processes by Melsa and Sage: amzn.to/3UokPqO Real Variables by Ash: amzn.to/40i8fx1 Applied Functional Analysis by Griffel: amzn.to/4e0pZQZ Springer PDEs and Solitary Waves Theory by Wazwaz: amzn.to/4dUx5q4 Linear and Nonlinear Integral Equations by Wazwaz: amzn.to/4dZmoCv Numerical Methods for Stochastic Partial Differential Equations with White Noise by Zhang and Karniadakis: amzn.to/4f9diEA Stochastic Calculus in Manifolds by Emery: amzn.to/4fkeEMO The Classical Theory of Integral Equations by Zemyan: amzn.to/4hgth5t WorldScientific Informal Introduction To Stochastic Calculus With Applications: amzn.to/4ffu5Wd A First Course In Integral Equations by Wazwaz: amzn.to/3YCLnHB Stochastic Geometric Analysis with Applications by Calin: amzn.to/3AbHy2B A Guide to Distribution Theory and Fourier Transforms by Strichartz: amzn.to/48mp4Jp McGraw Hill Link to Schaum's Outlines series: amzn.to/3UmeL2j Wiley Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications by Kreyszig: amzn.to/3Uj28VF Integral Equations by Jerri: no link to the 2nd ed.

For what is worth, Cambridge University Press, such as Oxford, Harvard, Princeton, MIT, etc, is more focus on every possibles topics rather than only maths. For example, Harvard Press, Princeton Press and MIT Press have publish many classics in Economics (well-written and rigorous textbooks by Jean Tirole, Acemoglu, Thomas Sargent, Robert Lucas, etc). Cambridge Press is very well know for probability and statistics at very high level (Measure-Theoretic, Non-asymptotic, Empirical Processes, M-Estimation, High-Dimensional, etc).
Great overview video of math publishers! Very practical and organized well. I agree with most of your analysis , especially with Dover and Springer and Pearson. Kudos and thanks!
I don't normally like tier videos. I do like that you showed, and discussed, example books from the publishers. I would flip your bottom 2 tiers personally. I think CRC is a smaller press and doesn't get as much love. I have a couple of their books. One is a very nice reference book. I like the energy that you brought to this video.
AMS being D tier is tragic. So many of the best books are published through AMS. I say that as a graduate student so maybe that's where we disagree, they are some of the best reference texts. Evan's PDE's? Give's me night terrors from when I first read it, but ANYTHING you wana know is in there and its presented reasonably well. Also my favorite algebra book, Algebra 0 by Allufi. I probably wouldn't rank them S tier, since their books are pretty dense, but below Wiley? Tragic.
@HomoGeniusPDE (awesome name, btw) I was hoping one of you AMS dudes would chime in and give them some love. Thank you! @aybarsyalcin-zq5pd I actually lol'd reading that. Thanks to you as well!
The book offering is one thing but the quality and physical readability is what should be rated since you live with the book for a long time. Springer’s pages are so shiny that it is difficult to read. Cambridge is the worse. The binding is so tight, you can hardly read the pages plus the pages are extremely shiny so you can’t use direct lighting. McGraw-Hill has been on of the best.
You make a good point. But honestly I don't share your struggle with Springer books. The only one that feels that way that I remember is Axler's Measure Theory book. Probably half of my Springer books are MyCopy. My Pivato book actually has broken binding, but I just thought that the seller got a bad batch. Didn't think it was widespread. Thank you for sharing! Would you mind sharing some of your favorite books?
@ I return to the International Series of Applied and Pure [Mathematics, Physics] often. Some are dated, but they were written with clear text and have an understanding of the audience. I was a theoretical physicist, now retired, but still read textbooks.
Weird putting Cambridge University Press so low when they publish Spivak. Just that on its own is enough to make them S-tier in my opinion, but the other CUP books I have are also excellent (eg Kleppner and Kolenkow etc).
I've heard of Spivak, but I do not own it. I've also only heard of it being used as a first book on calculus. I don't have much experience at all with it other than it has a reputation for being difficult. Perhaps one day, I'll get my hands on a copy. Thanks for sharing.
@@MathematicalToolbox It's a very cool book. The problems really make you think and there's a great bibliography with suggestions for further reading at the back where he makes a lot of personal observations about his recommendations. There's also an amazing chapter showing how you can use calculus to derive and prove Kepler's laws using Newton's laws.
@@MathematicalToolboxohh you'll be surprised to see how good they are. I'm currently reading Equations of Mathematical Physics by AV Bitsadze and it's in a way a mini course on pde , complex variables and integral equations with emphasis on physics as the name suggests. it's great so far and would be a good one for you to show on the channel since these are the topics you talk about the most:)
Yes! I only have a couple of books from them, though. The "How to Think About Analysis" and algebra book too are cool. What is your favorite from Oxford?
@@MathematicalToolbox well to be honest I’m not at the level that I can understand throughly but it has masterful works like geometry of 4 manifolds and riemann surfaces from Danoldson and ı also liked kantorowitz modern analysis a lot :)

Before Christmas I stumbled onto your sites ... what a find! I especially appreciate your straightforward analysis of various textbooks! Thank you!
@edwardgraham-j8l Thanks! I am grateful that you are here as well.
What's your favorite publisher, and why?
Great overview video of math publishers! Very practical and organized well. I agree with most of your analysis , especially with Dover and Springer and Pearson. Kudos and thanks!

He has whola ams shelf in background 😂
the quality of their text is lacking though.
@@raba2d723 how so?

You never know with Dover...Some are quite good!Some are..almost unreadable..
100%! Thank you for sharing!
that intro is my bane of yt, “heywahsupguysinthiswideoweeegnsnabeloojijf at” 😂

What about MIR Publishers?
I don't have any of those. What are some books I should check out or what are some of your favorites?

Tata McGraw Hill is very good in my country. So is Cengage.
Another opinion : The cold war era Russian publishers and authors were also top tier.
