Here's a valuable resource - a whole bunch of math textbooks free for download. Most of them have been released under a Creative Commons license, which means you are allowed to print them and copy them. There are different types of Creative Commons licenses, so make sure you know what you are allowed to do.

Here's the resource: Mathematics Books Online.

There are science, engineering and medical books on that site, too.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)
(See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with $$ and $$.
$$\int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}$$
(This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
