It's got a funny name, but it's like, really, really good. It's really good. And the reason is, it just sort of teaches you how to test things that are bigger than just a simple function. And it will make if you, if you code Python applications of any scale, it will make your coding better there.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING JEREMY IRONS AND DEV PATEL! A moving and enlightening look at the unbelievable true story of how gifted prodigy Ramanujan stunned the scholars of Cambridge University and revolutionized mathematics.In 1913, a young unschooled Indian clerk wrote a letter to G H Hardy, begging the preeminent English mathematician's opinion on several ideas he had about numbers. Realizing the letter was the work of a genius, Hardy arranged for Srinivasa Ramanujan to come to England. Thus began one of the most improbable and productive collaborations ever chronicled. With a passion for rich and evocative detail, Robert Kanigel takes us from the temples and slums of Madras to the courts and chapels of Cambridge University, where the devout Hindu Ramanujan, "the Prince of Intuition," tested his brilliant theories alongside the sophisticated and eccentric Hardy, "the Apostle of Proof." In time, Ramanujan's creative intensity took its toll: he died at the age of thirty-two, but left behind a magical and inspired legacy that is still being plumbed for its secrets today.

In this brilliantly entertaining book, Paulos argues that our inability to deal rationally with large numbers or their probabilities results in misinformed, vulnerable attitudes. He shows how to combat this condition.

Fun book proposes plotting all complex functions as colored contour plots. Kind of an obvious idea, but it's carried through systematically here.

I’ve always liked compendium.

The Sixth Edition of Physics for Scientists and Engineers offers a completely integrated text and media solution that will help students learn most effectively and will enable professors to customize their classrooms so that they teach most efficiently. The text includes a new strategic problem-solving approach, an integrated Math Tutorial, and new tools to improve conceptual understanding. To simplify the review and use of the text, Physics for Scientists and Engineers is available in these versions:Volume 1 Mechanics/Oscillations and Waves/Thermodynamics (Chapters 1-20, R) 1-4292-0132-0Volume 2 Electricity and Magnetism/Light (Chapters 21-33) 1-4292-0133-9Volume 3 Elementary Modern Physics (Chapters 34-41) 1-4292-0134-7Standard Version (Chapters 1-33, R) 1-4292-0124-XExtended Version (Chapters 1-41, R) 0-7167-8964-7

This book is almost 25 years old (sheesh!) and there are now more modern methods for some of the topics discussed, but in terms of just packing a punch per page I really enjoyed this back in the day.

This is evergreen. Learning how to do Markov chains and solve the eigen values will never ever not be helpful. This stuff requires more energy to read, but it keeps you sharp.

This is a great series of books. They’re yellow books from the early 2000s, Schaum’s outline of probability and statistics or Schaum’s outline of accounting. It’s amazing how many people have studied accounting or something, but you just give them Schaums and ask them to do the first 10 problems in accounting, they struggle.

It's Written by a Fields medalist who is also an extremely good editor and writer.
