Here are some more interesting Math Books/Items that you can try:
Mathematics is beautiful and there is no place for ugly mathematics in this world. Mathematics originates from creativity and develops with research papers.
These research papers aren’t only very detailed and tough to understand for a general student, but also interesting. I hope these math articles, research papers and the recommended books were helpful to you.
