My mental muscle for math has definitely atrophied since graduating with an engineering degree. I’ve been looking for a nice way to exercise it, and this looks like something that can get me there.

For a more in-depth discussion of physics, I’ve found the Feynman Lectures [1,2] to be quite enjoyable. It’s a long read (I’ve only finished the first book) but it is very thorough.

This [0] book is to mathematics what Feynman Lectures are to physics (debatable, but I think it's worth the read).
