University Physics II: Thermodynamics, Electricity, & Magnetism
OpenStax · LibreTexts
This text explores thermodynamics, electricity, and magnetism, building on the foundations of mechanics. You’ll study heat and energy, electric charges and circuits, magnetic forces, and the unifying principles of Maxwell’s equations and electromagnetic waves. With examples and practice problems, this text provides the tools to understand and apply these essential ideas in science and engineering.

Think Python 2ed.
Allen B. Downey · Olin College
Think Python is an introduction to Python programming for beginners. It starts with basic concepts of programming, and is carefully designed to define all terms when they are first used and to develop each new concept in a logical progression. Larger pieces, like recursion and object-oriented programming are divided into a sequence of smaller steps and introduced over the course of several chapters.

Complex Variables with Applications
Jeremy Orloff · Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Complex analysis is a basic tool in many mathematical theories. By itself and through some of these theories it also has a great many practical applications. There are a small number of far-reaching theorems that we’ll explore in the first part of the class. Along the way, we’ll touch on some mathematical and engineering applications of these theorems. The last third of the class will be devoted to a deeper look at applications.

Mathematics for Computer Science
Eric Lehman, F. Thomson Leighton, & Alberty R. Meyer · Google and Massachusetts Institute of Technology
This text serves as an introduction to discrete mathematics, probability, and mathematical thinking for computer scientists with an interactive introduction to discrete mathematics oriented toward computer science and engineering. The subject coverage divides roughly into thirds: (1) Fundamental concepts of mathematics including definitions, proofs, sets, functions, relations. (2) Discrete structures: graphs, state machines, modular arithmetic, counting and (3) Discrete probability theory.
