Math Books I Study(& love) These Days

As an undergrad student of physics, I have been studying mathematics rigorously from the first days of my freshman year. Here is a list of books that I have been studying lately to develop my mathematical background: Vector Calculus by Susan Jane Colley Vector calculus is a mathematical tool that a physicist uses on a daily basis. The branches of physics where vector calculus is used are a lot in number; classical mechanics, classical electromagnetism, fluid mechanics, classical field theory- to name a few. And it’s an prerequisite to learn differential geometry. I have been studying vector calculus for some time. And Susan Jane Colley’s has been quite a nice guide to learning vector calculus. What I love about the book is that it’s emphasis on rigorous development of the subject while still not very dry to study. And it contains lots of nice problems to test one mathematical understanding; especially the miscellaneous problems at the end of the chapter amalgamat...
