Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization parts 1, 2 & 3 by Ocalan.
This are a good high level overview of history, philosophy and
spiritualism talking about the 5000 year legacy of state civilization,
the development of philosophy and humanity's relationship with nature.
New Paradigm in Macroeconomics by Werner explains how economics and
finance work on a fundamental level. Emphasizes the importance of
economic networks in issuing credit, and goes through all the major
economic schools of thought.
Authoritarian vs Democratic Technics
by Mumford is a short 10 page summary of his books
The Myth of the Machine parts 1 & 2.
Mumford was a historian and philosopher of science and technology. His
books describe the two dominant legacies within technology; one enslaving
humanity, and the other one liberating humanity from the state.
The Sovereign Individual
is very popular among crypto people. Makes several prescient predictions
including about cryptocurrency, algorithmic money and the response by
nation states against this emeregent technology. Good reading to understand
the coming conflict between cryptocurrency and states.
Python
Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes. Good beginner text.
O'Reilly books: Python Data Science, Python for Data Analysis
C
The C Programming Language by K&R (2nd Edition ANSI C)
Rust
The Rust Programming Language from No Starch Press. Good intro to learn Rust.
Rust for Rustaceans from No Starch Press is an advanced Rust book.
Mathematics
Abstract Algebra
Pinter is your fundamental algebra text. Everybody should study this book.
My full solutions here.
Basic Abstract Algebra by Dover is also a good reference.
Algebra by Dummit & Foote. The best reference book you will use many times. Just buy it.
Algebra by Serge Lang. More advanced algebra book but often contains material not
found in the D&F book.
Elliptic Curves
Washington is a standard text and takes a computational approach. The math is often
quite obtuse because he avoids introducing advanced notation, instead keeping things
often in algebra equations.
Silverman is the best text but harder than Washington. The material however is rewarding.
Algebraic Geometry
Ideals, Varieties and Algorithms by Cox, Little, O'Shea. They have a follow up
advanced graduate text called Using Algebraic Geometry. It's the sequel book
explaining things that were missing from the first text.
Hartshorne is a famous text.
Commutative Algebra
Atiyah-MacDonald. Many independent solution sheets online if you search for them.
Or ask me ;)
Algebraic Number Theory
Algebraic Number Theory by Frazer Jarvis, chapters 1-5 (~100 pages) is your primary text.
Book is ideal for self study since it has solutions for exercises.
Introductory Algebraic Number Theory by Alaca and Williams is a bit dry but a good
supplementary reference text.
Elementary Number Theory by Jones and Jones, is a short text recommended in the preface
to the Jarvis book.
