Hi,

Can you please tell me which books are the best for the math subject GRE? I'm thinking of ordering from Amazon this week and hopefully start preparation asap. I would also really appreciate some guidance reg. my other posts.

Thanks in advance,
Ashwin

Im not sure which book specifically but
get an Abstract Algebra book
Linear Algebra
Analysis
Topology set theory
Calculus book, also with multivariable in it.

My advice (though I have not taken the test yet) would be:
A Survey of Modern Algebra by Birkhoff/Mac Lane (gives you some good algebra + linear algebra)
Integral and Differentiable Calculus Vol. I-II by Richard Courant
Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin

From what I know of the test, it seems studying these three would very nicely prepare you for it.
