… work in somewhat different domains and so have a different list of books. I hope someone finds this useful. For those who want a summary, Proof Technique (a)Velleman's "How to Prove It" (b)Gries and Schneider's "A Logical Approach to Discrete Math" Math (c) Calculus (best "lite" book - Calculus by Strang (free download), best "heavy" books - (d) Calculus by Spivak, (e) Principles of Mathematical Analysis a.k.a "Baby Rudin") (f) Discrete Math (ALADM above + (g) a good book on Algorithms, Cormen will do - though working through it comprehensively is ... hard! (h) Linear Algebra (First work through Strang's book, then (i) Axler's) (j) Probability (see Bradford's very comprehensive recommendations) and (k) Statistics (I would reccomend Devore and Peck for the total beginner but it is a damn expensive book. So hit a library or get a bootlegge…

I personally liked "A Logical Approach to Discrete Math" by Gries and Schneider which can be had for a good price on Amazon. As for statustics, I liked "Statistics: A Gentle Introduction" by Coolidge and "Principles of Statistics" by Bullmer which can be had for a great price even new. Although only slightly related to your chosen topics, "Linear Algebra Done Right" by Axler is awesome. -m
