Free Mathematics Books
Here is an alphabetical list of online mathematics books, textbooks, monographs, lecture notes, and other mathematics related documents freely available on the web. I tried to select only the works in book formats, "real" books that are mainly in PDF format, so many well-known html-based mathematics web pages and online tutorials are left out. Click here if you prefer a categorized directory of mathematics books. The list is updated almost on a daily basis, so, if you want to bookmark this page, use the button in the upper right corner. Here are the books:
microBlog » Thank you, Adobe Reader 9!
Adobe Reader logoRecently I wrote a blog entry about bloated software, and how much better Foxit PDF reader was than Adobe Reader. But I was using Adobe Reader 8. Little did I know how much superior version 9 would be.
Fitz and MuPDF
Fitz is a project to create a new and modern graphics library. At the core of Fitz is the display tree: a scene graph of vector graphics, images and text making up the contents of a page.
Fitz
The standard components of Fitz are:
* Base runtime (thin memory and error handling layer)
* Streams and filters (standard postscript, pdf and tiff filters)
* World model (display trees and resources)
* Drawing (draw the tree to a bitmap raster)
MuPDF
MuPDF is a PDF parser that reads PDF files and creates Fitz trees.
MuPDF also has an API to modify internal objects in the PDF files and write PDF files. For instance, it is possible to use the MuPDF library to encrypt existing PDF files, or to rearrange the pages.
pdftool is a commandline demo of this functionality; it is a portable pdf swiss army knife for fixing broken pdf files, changing permissions, merging and extracting pages, and examining the internal object structure of a PDF file.
apparition is a bare bones PDF viewer for X11 and Windows.
Browser Plugin
This plug-in uses the incredible rendering power of Fitz and MuPDF to make PDF documents appear as normal web pages within your browser.

All converted Adobe PDF documents will be sent back to the sender as MIME attachments. For plain text, mail the attached PDF to pdf2txt@adobe.com.
