  …interest to computer scientist. Additionally: - "Princeton Companion to Mathematics" is really fun to have around for exploration - if you're really really rusty with math, take a week or two with "Mathematical Handbook - Elementary Mathematics" by Vygodsky I literally have all these on my desk at this very moment, what a fun coincidence.

As an example, Vygodsky's 2-vol "Mathematical Handbook" (Elementary Mathematics & Higher Mathematics) and Yavorsky & Detlaf's "Handbook of Physics" have ungodly amounts of knowledge in a relatively small size books. You can get them (and more) from https://mirtitles.org/…
