    "Complex Variables" by John W. Dettman is a great read: the first part covers the geometry/topology of the complex space from a Mathematician's perspective, and the second part covers application of complex analysis to differential equations and integral transformations, etc. from a Physicist's perspective.

    To say that _Understanding Analysis_ will make you a master at analysis is an overstatement. I think it’s a fantastic intro to the subject, but nothing much beyond that.

    More than three books in the video caught my attention. As an engineering student, your videos are very inspiring, I hope that after I finish my bachelor's and master's degrees, I can take a bachelor's degree in Physics or Mathematics (both seem equally beautiful to me, but I can only choose one) although I would never study it in my country lol.

    Really loved the video Ioana, thank you so much. Its really interesting to hear people who are immersed in a subject discuss how they got into it. I'm interested in maths but don't have a degree in it - and I'm going to be buying at least a couple of books from your list (I already have the Barbara Oakley one).
    Perhaps you could do another one with say an undergrad studying a different subject at Oxford and discussing their top 8 books ?
    I'ld love to see videos covering Biology, History, Economics, English ...

    The book I used a lot was called "The Chemistry Maths Book" by Erich Steiner. It's comparable to "Mathematical Techniques", I dive into these two titles every time I haven't done mathematics for a while and I get back into the subject relatively quickly. Understanding Analysis is also a book that I love to read. One of my favourite books is called "Number" written by Tobias Dantzig, it's kind of a history of mathematics, I would recommend it to anyone interested in mathematics.
    Many thanks for sharing your titles with us.

    I was wondering if you could recommend books on advanced math without the proofs (or just a high-level summary of the proofs). My background is in physics, and some times it would be helpful to understand the foundations of the math I use (without having to spend years inching through the related proofs).

    • @ioanaroman2947
      @ioanaroman2947  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I would say that any book that is not that heavy on formulas works well as an audiobook! Especially when you just want to get a grasp on what the material is all about, audiobooks are great. If you want to go deeper into the material, I would definitely recommend writing down the equations and understanding what everything means - for this, I guess you'd need either the physical or the electronic version of the book.
      For the ones that I have mentioned, I would say that "A mind for numbers", "Why study Mathematics", "Algorithmic Puzzles", and "The Housekeeper and the Professor" would work well as audiobooks. ☺️ Good luck with your degree!!!
