Favorite/recommended math books

I was wondering if the Haskellers out there have any favorite math texts they recommend for someone hoping to improve their programming skills by learning more math. I'm thinking about something at the undergraduate level that you enjoyed reading. What about Mr. Haskell Curry's _Foundations of Mathematical Logic_? Greg Buchholz

G'day all.

I'm a big fan of Knuth, Graham and Patashnik's "Concrete Mathematics". Cheers, Andrew Bromage

the second half of this thread (the first half is a bit cliquey unless you're a lambda regular, i guess) contains some info on my search for a good introduction to category theory. http://lambda.weblogs.com/discuss/msgReader$10683?mode=topic there may also be more info at https://200.83.153.5/pipermail/compute/2004-January/000079.html (username/password : list/list) (i can't remember which has information from which and how much they overlap). also, that last url may (will!) change since it's a dhcp assigned address, so if it's useful grab a copy :o) (i'm looking for something at the undergrad level, but most seems to be aimed a bit higher.) andrew Greg Buchholz said:
