Can we have a thread about fun non-standard textbooks? Since AI has solved math and science, let's ignore the boring classics and become a textbook hedonist.
>>17053801>picSounds interesting, what are the prerequisites? Can I read this as an undergraduate mathfag or do I need a physics background?
>>17053801i can post about some later in the day, but how about >Street-Fighting Mathematics: The Art of Educated Guessing and Opportunistic Problem Solving bySanjoy Mahajanas a start
Is there anything with zero pre reqs? I’ve never even done calculus
>>17053855yes, there are a couple, with the knot book being one of the more famous ones
Why would AI not be able to do all of these
>>17053823Ok, I will post a couple now.Starting with Fomenkos books of pretty pictures
>>17053890some topos nonsense
>>17053891some fun physics that gets very little attention for some reason
>>17053892a classic fun textbook
>>17053893love hamkins
>>17053894another /sci/ classic
>>17053896some history
>>17053897fun with integrals
>>17053898some physical mathematics
>>17053899classic /sci/ meme book
>>17053900Moonshine
>>17053901philosophy
>>17053902puzzling fun
>>17053903tourist guide to QFT
>>17053905The compendium
>>17053906Roe is a great author. This book is my #1 recommendation out of all the ones I posted
>>17053907The royal road
>>17053909To close it off, the street fighting I already mentioned above
>>17053911>the pajeet got his caltech theoretical physics phd with this bookThis (a beta version at least) was his "theoretical physics" phd thesis. Sounds like nonsense, right? But it's true. Disgusting.
How many of these you are recommending have you read anon?
>>17053954you got me, anoni just collect virus-infested PDFs
>>17053801catonmat had great lists https://catonmat.net/top-100-books-part-eightToo bad he didn't update them any more.
>>17053870White women are greatly disappointed when they get home and open this up.

Ok fine. Guess what I do?
>>17053884Book recommendation you mean? AI is pretty bad with book recommendation in my experience, even today. They hallucinate nonexistent titles. And they just keep recommending the same set of books.
>>17054029HahaI don't mean it in a bad way but I'm genuinely curious, I feel like one can often catch whiff of what might be good books and then it feels right to spread them forward, but on the other hand something feels wrong about recommending a book one hasn't actually read. So idk what the resolution to this ist.
>>17054557I am the anon that posted all the books, but not the one that responded to you.I read at least a single chapter for most of the books I showed and completely read and worked through a handful of them.The only one I didnt read at all is the topos and the string theory ones
>>17053810who knows
A university pays me to do my hobby. I don't see the problem with AI.It saves me a lot of time.I just don't do latex anymore, the AI writes all my latex.It's fucking gorgeous.The amount of my lifespan I will have saves not typing latex I will live twice the life.
>>17054998Botspam like this is getting tiresome...
>>17054998>>17055015I don't think it's a bot. Many people are NEETs now in this economy. Some decided to troll random board with strange replies like this. The (you)'s make them slightly happier.
