Linear Algebra Lecture Notes
NEW : On May 17, 2012, I uploaded the latest revisions. There are four new sections, including Russell's Paradox, Uniqueness Proofs, Constructive Versus Nonconstructive Proofs, and The Continuum Hypothesis. Please contact me if you see any mistakes, as I hope to issuse a new print version in the next month.

Back to Dave Benson's front page A review of the book appears in the February 2007 issue (#276) of The Wire , just a few pages away from a review of a concert by Iggy Pop. Must be the first time I've been featured in the same magazine as Iggy!
Free Mathematics Books
(graph above: absolute value of the gamma function in the complex plane, source: Wikimedia Commons) Here is an alphabetical list of online mathematics books, textbooks, monographs, lecture notes, and other mathematics related documents freely available on the web. I tried to select only the works in book formats, "real" books that are mainly in PDF format, so many well-known html-based mathematics web pages and online tutorials are left out. Click here if you prefer a categorized directory of mathematics books . The list is updated almost on a daily basis, so, if you want to bookmark this page, use the button in the upper right corner.
Online texts
The writing of textbooks and making them freely available on the web is an idea whose time has arrived. Most college mathematics textbooks attempt to be all things to all people and, as a result, are much too big and expensive. This perhaps made some sense when these books were rather expensive to produce and distribute--but this time has passed. Professor Jim Herod and I have written Multivariable Calculus ,a book which we and a few others have used here at Georgia Tech for two years. We have also proposed that this be the first calculus course in the curriculum here, but that is another story....
