Free Books (Science, Math, Programming, etc.) Thread

[mfan773]

As far as I am aware, all of these books are free (licenses that allow you to read these for free). I usually stick with the URL's that have a .edu or other well known sites like O'Reilly.

A First Course in Linear Algebra (A Free Textbook) (Mostly math, but has some links that are for programming)
free-programming-books/free-programming-books.md at master · vhf/free-programming-books · GitHub (Mostly programming, but also includes other things like math)
http://neuroscience.uth.tmc.edu/ (Neuroscience)
ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Contents (Abstract Algebra, advanced type of algebra)
Online Introduction to Biology - The Book (Biology)
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (Programming)
Books by Ivan Marsic (Computers, Programming, Networking)
Online texts (Advanced Math)
The Feynman Lectures on Physics (Famous physics lectures by Richard Feynman)
books (More advanced Math)
Classics in the History of Psychology -- Author Index (Works of famous Psychologists)
CCNBook/Main - Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Wiki (Computational Cognitive Neuroscience)
Chess Tactics Explained in English: Ward Farnsworth's Predator at the Chessboard (Tactics in Chess)

I have a lot more that I will add to the list.

My bad, I guess this is the wrong forum, if you want you can move it to the Off-topic forum.

It's cool, I'll probably have a look at some.

Table of Contents (Organic Chemistry)
Bit by Bit | Bit by Bit (Computer History)
Contents (Semiconductor Devices)
Books - OSDev Wiki (This site is a wiki dedicated to creating your own Operating Systems. This link will display a list of books (some of them are free, just press Ctrl+F and type free) that cover the different aspects of computers)

This is great!

Thanks very much for these!

Thank you for posting these, many are over my head lol

The pool book sounds cool, thx!

The pool book sounds cool, thx!

I believe the billiards site is just a collection of articles that explain concepts as well as some of them being heavy with physics/math, not all though. He does have a book that is published that is pretty cheap that is about how to play well with just the concepts.

I will post some math stuff that is closer to beginner level (basic algebra, trigonometry, etc.)

I feel this fits this forum just fine. Thanks for these

Elementary Algebra Textbook (Elementary Algebra, this is type of algebra you would learn in high school/college if you don't major in math)
mecmath - Trigonometry (Trigonometry, this is taken after Elementary Algebra. After you read this, you can move on to Precalculus (a rehashment of Algebra and Trig I've been told) or Calculus)
