These are some of my purchased book list. I made this page for my personal use, since I frequently forgot what I've bought and what I've read.
What made me surprised is that some people asked me about my recent book list for an advice or for their own purpose. Since they have similar skills that I have, and they have similar tastes of books, I decided to maintain this page for public.
Don't take serious my description of each book here; They're really personal descriptions. You may criticize that some of descriptions are not correct, or not suitable. For example, some of mathematics books here may have some bad tendency of criticism. In this case, you must catch that my mathematics is very bad. ;-)
It is very boring, time-consuming work to typing each book information whenever I buy a new book. Thus this page is automatically generated based on book information using Tcl scripts and Makefile. If you want to know more about this automation, read here.
