More recently, I've really enjoyed: - Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (John C. Hull): https://www.amazon.ca/Options-Futures-Other-Derivatives-10th/dp/013447208X/ https://www.amazon.ca/Options-Futures-Other-Derivatives-10th... - Financial Accounting Theory (Scott & O'Brien): https://www.amazon.ca/Financial-Accounting-Theory-8th-Edition/dp/013416668X https://www.amazon.ca/Financial-Accounting-Theory-8th-Editio... - Networks (Mark Newman): https://www.amazon.ca/Networks-Mark-Newman/dp/0198805098/ https://www.amazon.ca/Networks-Mark-Newman/dp/0198805098/

You didn't ask me, but piggybacking anyway. Some of these I've been going back to for years starting back in my PhD, working through some ideas as I have time. Some I have recently been learning new things from. Approximately in that order below: Too many stat mech books, but honestly favorite is this old one. If you want a real challenge try to read to the OG Gibbs. Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group Probability Theory: The Logic of Science Information Theory, Inference and Learning Algorithms Information, Physics, and Computation Elements of Information Theory Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning The Nature of Computation Principles of Cyber-Physical Systems Introduction to Embedded Systems, Second Edition: A Cyber-Physical Systems Approach Data-Driven Science and Engineering: Machine Learning, Dynamical Systems, and Control An Invitation to Applied Category Theory: Seven Sketches in Compositionality BTW, feel free to ask for recommendations in physics, especially stat mech, simulation/computation, condensed matter theory

  I also liked slatestarcodex a lot, but I think he has a new website now after journalism drama. He was some sort of psych professor if I recall. Just overall good, honest open reading + discussion. Sometimes political, sometimes not. I always point people to this motte and bailey article as I find it's a litmus test to see they find him too much. --https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/03/all-in-all-another-brick-in-the-motte/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/03/all-in-all-another-bri... If you're into science, you might like Quanta Magazine. I don't think there's any science journalism that will ever not bother me, but this one tries really hard. I happen to know that Jennifer Oullete in particular puts a lot of hard work into her articles
