Re:Ask HN: Math books that made you significantly better at ... by tylerstorm on Thursday January 19, 2023 @10:49AM (#34441583)
I second this suggestion for Calculus Made Easy by Thompson. It's become a bit of a classic...was published in like 1915. Super unique approach to teaching calculus. It's an excellent supplement...lots of good insights. It may be particularly good for people who believe they're bad at math. His style may convince people otherwise.

Also, Vibrations and Waves, by AP French. Granted, this is a physics book, but I appreciate his style so much. He makes use of a lot of geometric methods to solving problems. It definitly expanded my math horizons! His other books are good too.
