Sorry, off-topic: can you recommend some (applied) math books for self study people can read before your book is published?

I realize the question is somewhat strange and the answer depends on what people work on. Let's say it is not ML/AI.

I've enjoyed e.g. 'Calculus' by G. Simmons and Niven's 'The Mathematics of Choice' even though I didn't apply any of that at work.

I can't say I've read any that I could recommend. I have heard nice things about Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics (TOC: https://assets.press.princeton.edu/chapters/c10592.pdf) but I haven't ready it personally, and it seems to be more of a reference text and have less stuff relevant to programming specifically.
