people make fun of leetcode, but just doing 1-2 random problems a day is good training in academic algos+data structures

I can't say I liked any of them, but maybe I just hate maths deep down. t. phd in le physics.

I've only worked through the first 4 chapters of this one so far, but it is definitely pretty great as a self-study tool.
It's also pretty accessible to me as an EE, without a pure math undergrad, which is greatly appreciated.

Trigonometric by Bartholomew Pitiscus' is one I stumbled on through archive.org, accessible from the following link.
https://archive.org/details/bim_ear
I thoroughly enjoyed this for historic reasons, as the calculations use a corresponding document, also available through archive.org, yet some of the problems in the book are fairly similar to some I saw in much more modern texts throughout my younger mathematics education. I translated a section of this book and may do more in the future. One of my favorite quotes that I've translated so far regards the question "What is the use of this?"
Original transcript
"Quorsum autem prosit, facile intelligentii, qui ex vocatione divina debent. Cæteris exponere non est officii, nec instituti nostri."
Attempted translation
"To what end however may it benefit, easily we understand, who out of the divine vocation have. To explain to others is not our office, nor our institute."

I'm not just a computer scientist programmer, I AM the machine.

I remembered going through advanced calculus
by Edwards Jr and found it to be rough at first.
But over time, I got used to the rigor and was
able to do a few chapters worth of questions.
It's also good for learning core ideas of intro
linear algebra since the book goes into
multivariable calculus

I read that book. It's pretty good.
