I want some recommendations on good math books on: calculus, discrete math, probabilities, statistics Calculus Made Easy by Silvanius P. Thompson (Feynman taught himself calc with this book) Concrete Mathematics by Knuth, Graham, Patashnik Fundamentals of Applied Probability Theory by Alvin Drake You probably want to learn Linear Algebra - get Gilbert Strang's book. The Schuam's outlines in each topic are good for review. I like the ancient ones, usually there are dozens of them for next to nothing at any good used bookstore.
