"All of statistics" by Larry Wasserman. I took a bunch of courses that taught stats as a bunch of independent tools for different problems. AOS helped me to build some a strong foundation.

"Fundamental university physics Volume 1: Mechanics" by Alonso and Finn. This book seems to be not very well known in the USA, but it is very popular in Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. It is your classical introductory physics/mechanics course with a very high emphasis on calculus.

"Computational partial differential equations" by Hans Peter Langtagen. A book on numerical methods for solutions of PDEs. It has the right amount of rigour (so you are able to tackle the literature), but it also includes code and plenty of practical advice.

"Nonlinear dynamics and chaos" by Strogatz. I think this book is really well known and I can't add much.
