My home professional library

I did not read all the mentioned below books from the very beginning to the very end. Many of them are used as references occasionally. Some of them were bought because of a couple of interesting chapters. Some of them were bought to be read when I have time.

Surely the books are not equal in value. I did not range the books in the list below. Some of my books were bought by chance - I did not have time in a books store for making a proper decision. Meanwhile the price of books in Russia is so low in comparison to the prices of similar books in English that it makes sense to buy near all books in the area of professional interests. The spendings for self education will be very low anyway. At the time writing (2005 - beginning of 2006) books' prices are going up but the words above are still correct. Will see what happens later.

Obviously I buy books in Russian. Vast majority of them are translated from English. Here I give the original English title except of some cases when a book is written by Russian author and not published abroad.
