Numerical Recipes in C. We have an old version somewhere in the lab, but the latest version is available online: http://apps.nrbook.com/empanel/index.html#
This does require a key. TODO: Do we have this key and what is it?
Phylogenetics
The book the Time Tree of Life (I merged the freely available chapters online at http://www.timetree.org/book.php
) gives consensus trees with timing of the speciation events for all sequenced organisms. The chapters cover a large set of taxa in the tree of life, relating the time trees to geological data. The first paragraph of the preface reads:
This book addresses one of the most basic of biological questions: the Tree of Life and
its timescale. Our goal was to bring together experts on all of the major groups of
organisms to produce a state-of-the-art synthesis of the molecular timescales of life.
At the same time, we wanted to make this information on phylogenetic trees scaled
to time—timetrees—accessible to everyone, including students and scientists of all
disciplines, to facilitate interdisciplinary research and discovery. The result is essentially
an encyclopedia of the Tree of Life. On the one hand it has a uniform style and
minimum of jargon to make it useful for nonspecialists, while on the other hand it
contains the data and literature references needed by active researchers.
Physics:
Feynman lectures on Physics: probably you have to google it (title pdf) again as the links change frequently for it: e.g. http://www.filestube.com/f/feynman+lectures+pdf
stream (! very nice, but only in Silverlight): http://research.microsoft.com/apps/tools/tuva/
Computer Science:
Feynman lectures on Computation: probably you have to google it (title pdf) again as the links change frequently for it: e.g.http://www.filecrop.com/Feynman-lectures-on-computation.html
