Many moons ago I read mathematics. But I am now too old and fat and mad and grey and dead and bald and past it, and my apartment too small. These books are no longer understood and no longer needed.

Free to a good home
• If you are a genuine student of mathematics, or a mathematical library, or the like, you can have them free (you collect from me in New York, or you pay postage).
• Book dealers can have them dearer than free, but not a lot.

• The USSR Olympiad Problem Book: Selected Problems and Theorems of Elementary Mathematics, 1993.
• Matrix Analysis, Horn and Johnson;
• Groups: A path to geometry, Burn;
• Probability and Random Processes, G. R. Grimmett and D. R. Stirzaker, 1992;
• The Theory of Optimal Stopping, Y. S. Chow, Herbert Robbins, David Siegmund;
• Game Theory: Mathematical Models of Conflict, A. J. Jones, 1980;
• Algebraic Topology, C. R. F. Maunder, 1970;
• Combinatorics: Set Systems, Hypergraphs, Families of Vectors and Probabilistic Combinatorics, by Béla Bollobás, 1986;
• Introduction to Group Characters, Walter Ledermann, 1977;
• Old and New Unsolved Problems in Plane Geometry and Number Theory, Victor Klee and Stan Wagon, 1991;
• An Introduction to the Theory of Numbers, Fifth Edition, G. H. Hardy and E. M. Wright;
• A Course in Group Theory, John F. Humphreys, 1996.

Dates are (mostly) of first publication rather than this printing. If it’s important, ask.

Have you got "Stochastic Processes for Dummies"?

As I have no access to ODP, I assume that it stands for "Obsessive Disorder, Probably".

Good idea.

Dont give that last one away, Jules!

Naughty mis-quoting. A Course in Group Theory: Group Theory is the study of formal symmetries. Wikipedia has a summary, albeit one that fails to mention that this branch of mathematics was send in a letter written by Ô°variste Galois the night before he was killed in a duel. Alas I was never really intelligent enough to be competent at group theory, though I was intelligent enough to realise that I wasn’t intelligent enough. Such is life.

If knowing you're not intelligent enough is a sign of intelligence, I'll dust down the shelf for my impending Nobel Prize...
