Reference requests are common. However, I wish to make this a list of books which every undergraduate,majoring in mathematics should own or at least read.It may be a bit subjective.

Please include 1 book per answer .If there is any additional(or alternate) recommendation by you or some other person for the same topic please include it in the comments.

I am flagging it for community wiki.

    "a list of books which every undergraduate should own or at least read". Two clarifications are required: 1) Math books, or any-subject books? 2) math-major undergraduates, or all undergraduates?2012-10-30

    @Chris: The website is maths.stackexchange.com and so you should make your questions precise. Mathematicians like precision!2012-10-30

    @Chris thanks. Unfortunately it's been amply demonstrated that simply *naming* a site doesn't automatically prevent off-topic questions being asked; hence my request for clarification.2012-10-30

    It got closed as not a real question but I voted as "not constructive" since everyone has their own opinion.2012-10-30
