   The latest on this is “Statistical Consequences of Fat Tails: Real World Preasymptotics, Epistemology, and Applications” by Nassim Taleb.

   I liked this PDF so much I bought the book.

   1. Program = Proof by Samuel Mimram

   Math foundation of programming. Church–Rosser theorem, Curry–Howard correspondence, intuitionistic logic, theorem proving with dependent types, etc.

   2. Rust Atomics and Locks: Low-Level Concurrency in Practice by Mara Bos

   Great introduction even for non-Rust programmers.

   3. Statistical Consequences of Fat Tails by N. Taleb et al.

   I've just started to read it, but looks promising (lot of mathematical statistics).
