…about applied maths, but about the range of problems you run into when you try to apply them e.g. Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers (1962) Introduction To Applied Numerical Analysis (1971) Digital Filters (1977) Methods of Mathematics Applied to Calculus, Probability, and Statistics (1985)
on “Ask HN: Math books you recommend just for the way they are written?” ↗IIRC, Hamming's book "Digital Filters" (1989) has a section on FFTs with only the sign of the coefficient being used. It performed surprisingly well.

It happens that recently I became involved in writing a book on Digital Filters [8. R. W. Hamming, Digital Filters, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ., 1977.] when I knew very little about the topic. As a result I early asked the question, "Why should I do all the analysis in terms…
