Ladies and Gents...

I received an eBook reader as a gift recently, and I was wondering if anyone had some good recommendations for books on-

Calculus

derivatives

volatility

and similar subjects that can be found free via Google books, or non-free based on barnes & noble's catalogue.

I just finished Zakon's Mathematical Analysis series. I found it much easier to follow and more detailed than the non free calculus/analysis texts out there.

In my 1msec of searching for a place to share the links, it was either here or start another thread. Think of it as a potentially helpful threadjack.

Hi All,

Could someone share any recommendations to books on coding which could (through practice) help one be less of a hack and produce more elegant/efficient code.

Preferably programming language agnostic suggestions...

Amazon links would do as well.

Hi Manik,

This is what you want, one of the best books on the topic: Code Complete (2nd Edition)

It's available for free nowadays. Note that on Amazon it basically only receives 5 stars.
