Books

Dear /sci/entist recommend me the best book for:

- Infinitesimal calculus
- Linear and non-linear algebra
- Geometry and differential geometry
- Anything else in the field of mathematics and physics

Have a nice day.

The purpose behind teaching myself these MATHS is to see how well I could capitalize on my father's natural talent for MATHS, assuming I inherited it.  See, my dad was a major engineer for Chevron.  He oversaw the production of offshore oil rigs, coordinated undersea robotics, etc.

From what I gather, engineering is fairly mathematics intensive, and my reasoning is that it's better to know the MATHS than to not know the MATHS.  Thus, I'm shooting for a general understanding of MATHS to give myself something to work from and toward later on (not to mention I'm an absolute nerd and find math fun).

That aside, I'm mostly interested in chemistry, biochemistry, computer science, and engineering, with no particular bias toward any one subject.

POST SCRIPT: if you're going to get a stick in the ass over the word MATHS, reread the above and substitute "math" for "MATHS".
