I’d love to see recommendations for textbooks that satisfy these criteria for various topics, whether those recommendations are newly aggregated here in a comment or from an existing list elsewhere. I’m aware of several enormous lists of textbooks, but I don’t know of any that index favorites from this perspective. I’m particularly interested in {proof, geometry, complexity, chemistry, information, thermodynamics, RL} theory.
I agree. Maybe it’s time to repost The Best Textbooks on Every Subject again? Many of the topics I want to self-study I haven’t found recommendations for in that thread. Or maybe we should create a public database of textbook recommendations instead of maintaining an old forum post.
Someone’s idea today was to make a Best of X tag for posts that are specifically recommending a product while having tried at least two other products in that reference class (of which textbooks are one existing example), and then people are encouraged to make top-level posts in this genre, which are easier to search.
