      I’m reading and like Thomas Garrity’s “All the mathematics you missed (but need for graduate school)” which is this but for people who did a bachelors degree but missed certain areas (or forgot them).

      For a bunch of topics in math broadly, this is a nice book, with an emphasis on intuition rather than thorough proofs(hence a compact and readable book) : All the Mathematics You Missed by Thomas A. Garrity https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/967329.All_the_Mathemati...

      There's of course Roger Penrose's "The road to reality" which has a completely different emphasis (more focused on fundamental physics and therefore introduces a lot of the math used there) but is also very interesting to read. This however, is a real time -- will take some effort to go through, but probably worth it :-)

      Cool, available on archive.org too

      Did you read the book in isolation or was it a part of a class / MOOC ?
