An Infinitely Large Napkin is Evan Chen's open-source LaTeX textbook providing a light, self-contained introduction to higher mathematics from undergraduate to first-year graduate topics. This repository contains the TeX source files compiled into a freely available PDF.
Use cases
- learn higher math from undergraduate to graduate level
- get a bird's-eye overview of many math fields
- find a free open math textbook
- study math beyond pop-science books with precise definitions
- contribute corrections or new chapters to a math text
- find practice problems with community solutions
When to choose
- you want a broad, readable survey of higher mathematics
- you already have proof experience and want intuition over rigor
- you prefer free, community-maintained learning material
When to avoid
- you need a rigorous, fully detailed treatment with complete proofs
- you are a complete beginner with no proof experience
- you need a formal reference for a single specialized subject
