Books

Here are some books (both mathematics related and Christianity related) that I found helpful:

Math

These books were very accessible and taught certain principles fundamental to doing math and thinking about problems.

  • How to Read and Do Proofs, by Daniel Solow
  • Real Mathematical Analysis, by Charles Pugh
  • Calculus: Early Transcendentals, by Jim Stewart
  • Applied Partial Differential Equations, by Richard Haberman
  • Statistics, by Roger Purves, et al.
  • Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences, by Mary Boas
  • Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos, by Steven Strogatz
  • Finite Volume Methods for Hyperbolic Problems, by Randall Leveque

Christianity

These books profoundly helped me stir my faith and/or laid the foundations of the historic faith.

  • The Bible
  • Pilgrim’s Progress, by John Bunyan
  • Fellowship of the Burning Heart, by A.W. Tozer
