One of the best mathematics book I’ve ever read is ‘Problem-Solving Through Problems’, by Loren C. Larson. The book is composed of 8 chapters. Each of these talks about a certain mathematical tool or topic. After a brief theory introduction, shows a lot of interesting example problems, which are very instructional and show how you […]

1984, George Orwell
The best book I’ve ever read is ‘1984’, by George Orwell. It is a dystopian novel, which takes place in the imaginary London of 1984. At that time, three totalitarian super-states engage each other in an endless war. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, is a province of one of those three states, Oceania, […]
Euclidean Geometry In Mathematical Olympiads, Evan Chen
The most complete and interesting Geometry theory book I’ve ever read is ‘Euclidean Geometry In Mathematical Olympiads’, by Evan Chen. We could say that it’s the Bible of people who love Geometry problems in the Olympiads. It is divided into 10 theory chapters, which talk about different branches and techniques you can use to solve […]
Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and Tensorflow
The best book about machine learning I’ve found so far is ‘Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and Tensorflow’. This is a complete manual that treats supervised learning, unsupervised learning and deep learning. It is divided into 19 chapters, each consisting of a particular model or technique you can use in your projects. It really […]
My 60 Memorable Games, Bobby Fischer
My favorite chess book is ‘My 60 Memorable Games’, by Robert James Fischer himself. This book is a collection of the 60 games Fischer thinks are the most significant of his career. These games were played between 1957 and 1967, so they don’t include the games from his World Chess Championship Match against Boris Spassky […]
Problem Solving Strategies
A very interesting non-calculus mathematics book is ‘Problem-Solving Strategies’, by Arthur Engel. It gathers competition problems from over twenty national and international competitions of high school students. The book is composed of 14 chapters. Each of these explains a particular mathematical concept, like the Extremal Principle, shows some exercises with solutions and then proposes some […]
Animal Farm
A book I really enjoyed reading is ‘Animal Farm’, written by George Orwell. It talks about the story of some animals who suffer from being exploited by a farmer, Mr Jones, who is the owner of the Manor Farm. Inspired by the Old Major, a middle white boar, they decide to uprise and eventually conquer […]
