CMI Lecture Notes and Articles

My friend pointed out that the Clay Mathematics Institute has released books in PDF format, and are available on the CMI Lecture Notes and Articles page.

There are some interesting books, such as

• Ricci Flow and the Poincaré Conjecture
  John Morgan and Gang Tian
• Mirror Symmetry
  Cumrun Vafa and Eric Zaslow
• Strings and Geometry
  Michael Douglas, Jerome Gauntlett, Mark Gross

They are all wonderful books. The Mirror Symmetry book, which I often use as a reference, is the most complete literature survey I have found on the subject; it is nearly a 1000 pages! Thanks to the PDF version, now I can just grab my laptop and move around the world with all the heavy books right next to me!
