I learned math from these tiny 100 page books that made the point directly and succinctly and trusted the reader&rsquo;s intelligence to figure out the rest. Textbooks here seem to be written for people who are incapable of thinking for themselves.</p> <p>To be great surprise I discovered this website containing MIR publication books:</p> <p><a href="https://archive.org/details/mir-titles">https://archive.org/details/mir-titles</a></p> <p>The first book listed (at least for me) is <em>Irodov&rsquo;s Physics</em>, every engineering student&rsquo;s nightmare and yet one of the best books to learn physics from. I hope younger students find these and I myself am looking forward to reading some of the old gems and finding some new ones.</p>
