I love the style, I'll download it when I get home. Is there anything similar but for statistics?

#12This looks great! Does anyone know of any solution sets for the exercises or other resources with similar problem sets with solutions?

#13A finely written book for beginners. I like how it slowly explains stuff rather than doing in Theorem Proof style short books.
I wish there were such books for more advanced math topics.

#14is there a service that can print, bind and mail PDFs with as many pages as this? It'll be useful for some of the manuals I have to read too

#15"This work is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Arts in Mathematical Sciences."
So does that mean this is his PhD thesis? What's a Doctor of Arts?

#16Judging by the URL, this book was used for CMU's 15-151 / 21-128, which is a first-semester course for CS and math undergrads. Nowadays, the course uses [0]. [0] https://infinitedescent.xyz/
Thanks for this resource. It also serves as a LaTeX math example --- the source for the book is provided.

It's a doctoral degree with a heavy emphasis on pedagogy and teaching. From https://www.cmu.edu/math/grad/phd/index.html:
> The Doctor of Arts degree shares all requirements and standards with the Ph.D., except with regard to the thesis. The D.A. thesis is not expected to display the sort of original research required for a Ph.D. thesis, but rather to demonstrate an ability to organize, understand, and present mathematical ideas in a scholarly way, usually with sufficient innovation and worth to produce a publishable work. Whenever practical, the department provides D.A. candidates with the opportunity to use materials developed to teach a course. While a typical Ph.D. recipient will seek a position that has a substantial research component, the D.A. recipient will usually seek a position where research is not central.

Perhaps use the pdf split function to order 4 quarters of the pdf in separate binds

Does this replace the OP? Or is "An Infinite Descent into Pure Mathematics" a complementary book?
