Almost as bad as Pearson gr8 b8

there is no point in fuddle yourself over concerns about textbooks for elementary topics
study discrete math and intro to proofs first, and then use professor leonard or khan academy or whatever for the rest, googling any of the theorems or proofs they skip over

>-Multivariable Calculus: Stewart and Apostol
Avoid Stewart. Apostol is good
>-Complex Variables: Spiegel
Avoid. Kodaira is better, or the classic Alfohrs
>-Real Analysis: Rudin
Avoid. He's never written an actual Real analysis book. Go with Bartle and Sherbert for a first read
>-Programming: Python and C
Not books, those are languages
>-Discrete Mathematics: Rosen
There is no actual good "Discrete Mathematics" book, if anything, go with Knuths "Conrete Mathematics". For a deeper view you'd have to get books on Graph Theory, Combinatorics, Number theory
>-Differential Equations: Zill
Avoid. Tenenbaum & Pollard is the perfect choice as an Introduction, if you want an extended book go with Boyce & Diprima. Maybe Arnold for extended reading and more mathematical approach
>-Probability and Statistics: Devore
Avoid. The only good "Probability and Statistics" book is Dwass. For Probability go with Kolmogorov, he literally rewrote Probability at that time. Maybe Kiyoshi ito for a second read
>-Linear Algebra: Lay, Strang
Its a mediocre book but its ok. Lets be real, almost all Linear Algebra books fucking suck because they either avoid shit, skip shit, or don't explain shit and are too theoretical or practical

All of these books are good in different ways. The big thing that stands out about your list is that it’s weighted heavily towards
>calculus
>analysis
>complex variables
>differential equations
normally you would be doing 1 of these at a time, while spending the rest of your time on other subjects such as algebra; combinatorics; statistics; geometry; etc etc
>C and python
Excellent choice.
