ivan_ah says: "... Textbooks after first-year university are normally much better and bullshitfree. Graduate textbooks are usually solid." Amen! To that end I recommend "Mathematics Of Physics And Modern Engineering - Second Edition by I. S. Sokolnikoff and R. M. Redheffer http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Physics-Engineering-Stephen-Sokolnikoff/dp/0070596255/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1427734261&sr=1-2&keywords=mathematics+of+physics+and+modern+engineering+by+sokolnikoff#customerReviews http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Physics-Engineering-Stephe... Each chapter is independent, the text has a thorough index and covers most everything. Few errors, well-illustrated, nicely-sized and pleasant on the eyes. Most easy to read math book ever.
