Wait... this guy is trying to defend the usefulness of math with fibonacci numbers ? I wish him luck with that. There are elements of math all over computer programming. I like the blog of Jake Vanderplas - an astrophysicist at U Washing

I remember being disappointed with Calculus on Manifolds, since it was very abstract. I was looking for something with more explicit calculations. To this end, I was quite happy with Edwards "Advanced Calculus" http:/&#x2
