| I am looking for books that can help me learn maths from a applied point of view. I have studied statistics & I am comfortable with graduate level maths. I like books that start from applied point of view & then move in to theory. Something like the Halliday, Resnick, Walker book on Physics, do you know anything similar for maths? I understand that maths is part of many disciplines so I don't mind if the books go into many different realms |

Of course you won't learn enough about any topic to be able to actually tackle any but the most trivial of problems, but you will come away with a good understanding of which technique you should use for which kind of problem and have a good enough of a basis to be able to understand the more advanced books on the given topics. Each chapter also ends with a recommendation of 3-4 books which you can check out if you want to dig deeper into that particular topic.
