Problem solving books in mathematics
A good compilation of maths books is at :
http://ansomniac.blogspot.com/
This compilation was made by the same student from IIT Kharagpur, who was so very upset by the quality of his teachers (see my blog post "Lament of a student". Instead of brushing him aside as a "grumbler", I am happy that I decided to listen (that is what teachers should be doing).
I am sure this list should be useful for many of my colleague teachers.

Discovered .... one more goldmine
I stumbled on this goldmine, while loitering on the w-w-web ::
http://www.reddit.com/r/csbooks/
This site lists a whole lot of free, and legal, textbooks on computer science.
May my colleagues and my students benefit from this discovery of mine.

Begging for books
One of the challenges of teaching in India, is the lack of basic essential material for teaching :: books and journals. We do have bookshops, but they stock only run-of-the-mill books. Books which sell out fast. If you ask for a book which is even slightly higher than the average reader's intellect, you will have to face disappointment. It is not just money, it is just a lack of appreciation for anything above average. So what do I do ? I beg. I beg shamelessly. And I have friends all over the world who understand, and buy me the books I need so badly.
I have received today an exceptionally beautiful book on Lambda calculus, donated by a very close friend (I call him NVS, my children call him "karate master"). Thank you NVS.
If you are reading this blog, from any country outside India, and you wish to help an Indian teacher, just send me a signal. The books you send will be used, for teaching young Indians, so that one day India will also reach a stage where a teacher does not have to beg.

Forget the chocolates, send me some books
