Math books of course  . the other books i want are just bouncing around in the back of my head, i probably forgot most of them |

Because all the math books I wished for I forgot. Once I realized they had such a feature I immediately took advantage of it so that I would not need to remember.
The thing I hate about math books is that they take forever to read. |

RonL | You trying to reteach yourself Harmonic Analysis? Why did you even select that area of math out of all the possibilities. |

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - The Litany Against Fear, "Dune" by Frank Herbert |

| | I am going to ask my parents tomorrow if I can buy that Partial Differencial Equations books on my wishlist  . I am almost finished with my Complex Analysis book, so by the time it comes I would have finished.
My Review for Complex Analysis (Springer) by John Howie.
---------------------------------------------------------------- Good
1)Written with as little prerequistes as possible.
2)Author does a good job explaining the material.
3)All the excercises have solutions in the back.4
4)Not too expensive. Bad
1)Overlooks minor mathematical details which leads to faulty proofs.
2)Because of #1 I found some errors in a few theorems.
3)Not enough excercises.
I did not read the entire (  ) book (Conformal mapping) but I think I am in a position to give an honest review. This is a good book for self-study is you are just beginning Complex Analysis but not the best. If you want a more theoretic book this is not it.
---
Does anyone have an good books on PDE's? Before I buy this one. My college uses this one. I do not think Strauss is so good if you are new to this stuff. I plan to maybe read it after I develope some experience.
