This survey is designed to collect a consensus on the best mathematics books in several major disciplines.



By "best," I mean best for learning (as opposed to reference). Whether for self teaching or to supplement a class setting is not distinguished, nor is the level of the material. I simply want to find the best books for folks who are serious about learning each subject, alone or not.



If you haven't personally read any books on one of the subjects, please remember that you can skip all or part of any question. (Please don't rate any books you haven't used!) If you don't see the book you have in mind, feel free to write it in the text box, and I will include it in the results.



Finally I should mention that several topics and difficulty have been lumped together at various points. I will separate these out when analysing the survey results. This was simply a result of being limited to 10 questions by the survey site as a non-paying member.
