  "A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics", by Jeremy Kun is the one you'll see a lot https://pimbook.org/ https://pimbook.org/ The other one is in web format, it's something along the lines of "Visual Linear Algebra". Really unsure of title, but it's centered around visualizations of the math. On my laptop I would post bookmark but I'm in bed on phone, sorry =/ Edit: Here https://textbooks.math.gatech.edu/ila/ https://textbooks.math.gatech.edu/ila/ http://immersivemath.com/ila/index.html http://immersivemath.com/ila/index.html
