Library

 

   This is a spreadsheet I use to keep track of my books.  I use these and whatever I can find in the public library for my research.  Just because I own a book, doesn't mean that it's the best reference, but I believe all of my books have some value.  Many of these I got used because of their low price.  This page would be a good reference to anyone who wanted to buy me something, and did not want to get me a book I already have.  Feel free to get me any you think I'm missing.

    The categories are broken up mostly for my own convenience.  I put them into topics arbitrarily.  The modern section is just the books that were sitting close to me when I updated the sheet.  That section should be a few times longer, but not many people looking here will likely be interested in The Mechanics of Deformable Bodies, The introduction to thermal fluid dynamics, etc.
