THe recent discussion of funny math books prompts me to attempt to gather
a small list of outstanding math books. Please send me the names of a small
number of math books you think are outstanding, along with a few lines'
description of the book and why you think it's so good. I will summarize
to the net. Since I am not a die-hard purist, please send anything that
you think is relevant to the readers of this newsgroup (e.g. good numerical
methods texts, probability and statistics, or whatever).
