Reddit mentions of A First Course in Graph Theory (Dover Books on Mathematics)

Here's my rough list of textbook recommendations. There are a ton of Dover paperbacks that I didn't put on here, since they're not as widely used, but they are really great and really cheap.

There's also this great list of undergraduate books in math that has become sort of famous: https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~abhishek/chicmath.htm

Pre-Calculus / Problem-Solving

• The Art of Problem Solving - Lehoczky/Ruczyk - in two volumes, both have full solutions available separately
  
  Calculus
  
  
• Calculus - Stewart - ignore the bad reviews, it's very clear and covers all of basic calculus well - it's just the book that most intro students use and as a consequence gets a bad rap
  
  
• Calculus - Spivak - this will take your understanding of calculus to the next level
  
  
• Calculus - Apostol - there are two volumes and they are very comprehensive, albeit difficult
  
  Linear Algebra
  
  
• Linear Algebra - Lay
  
  
• Linear Algebra Done Right - Axler
  
  Differential Equations
  
  
• Elementary Differential Equations - Boyce/DePrima
  
  
• Ordinary Differential Equations - Tenenbaum
  
  Number Theory
  
  
• Number Theory - Pommersheim for a change of pace and proof skills
  
  Proof-Writing
  
  
• Transition to Higher Mathematics - Dumas/McCarthy - helps to bridge the gap between "lower" and higher math
  
  Analysis
  
  
• The Way of Analysis - Strichartz
  
• Principles of Mathematical Analysis - Rudin
  
• Real and Complex Analysis - Rudin
  
  Complex Analysis
  
  
• Complex Analysis - Ahlfors
  
  Functional Analysis
  
  
• Functional Analysis - Rudin
  
  
• Introductory Functional Analysis with Applications - Kreyszig
  
  Partial Differential Equations
  
  
• Partial Differential Equations for Scientists and Engineers - Farlow
  
  Higher-dimensional Calculus and Differential Geometry
  
  
• Calculus on Manifolds - Spivak - for a modern take on multivariable calculus
  
  
• Differential Geometry - Kreyszig
  
  Abstract Algebra
  
  
• A First Course in Abstract Algebra - Fraleigh
  
• Abtract Algebra - Dummit and Foote
  
  Geometry
  
  
• The Elements - Euclid - for culture and for understanding where math has come from, plus it's still an awesome book after all these years; don't need to go through all of it
  
• Euclidean and Non-Euclidean Geometries - Greenberg
  
  Topology
  
  
• Introduction to Topology - Mendelson
  
  
• Topology - Munkres
  
  Set Theory and Logic
  
  
• Introduction to Set Theory - Hrbacek/Jech
  
  
• Elements of Set Theory - Enderton
  
  
• Mathematical Logic - Kleene
  
  
• Set Theory and the Continuum Hypothesis - Cohen
  
  Combinatorics / Discrete Math
  
  
• Combinatorics - Cameron
  
  
• Concrete Math - Graham/Knuth/Patashnik
  
  
• Discrete Math - Biggs
  
  Graph Theory
  
  
• A First Course in Graph Theory - Chartrand/Zhang
  
  P. S., if you Google search any of the topics above, you are likely to find many resources. You can find a lot of lecture notes by searching, say, "real analysis lecture notes filetype:pdf site:.edu"
  

A First Course in Graph Theory by Chartrand and Zhang

Combinatorics: A Guided Tour by Mazur

Discrete Math by Epp

For Linear Algebra I like these below:

Lecture Notes by Tao

Linear Algebra: An Introduction to Abstract Mathematics by Robert Valenza

Linear Algebra Done Right by Axler

Linear Algebra by Friedberg, Insel and Spence

D.B. West is an extremely challenging book for self study due to its terseness, much like many typical graduate level courses. For a first course in graph theory, I highly recommend "A First Course in Graph Theory" by Chartrand and Zhang (appropriately named). The exposition is lucid and beautiful, and kept to a reasonable amount. The material is also motivated, and was overall a great experience for me. This was one of the first math books I read, and I think it is quite amazing. I did have to use D.B. West's book in a later graph theory course, so I do know what using that one is like: let's just say, not fun.
