   "... Textbooks after first-year university are normally much better and bullshitfree. Graduate textbooks are usually solid."

   Amen!

   To that end I recommend

   "Mathematics Of Physics And Modern Engineering - Second Edition by I. S. Sokolnikoff and R. M. Redheffer

   http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Physics-Engineering-Stephe...

   Each chapter is independent, the text has a thorough index and covers most everything. Few errors, well-illustrated, nicely-sized and pleasant on the eyes. Most easy to read math book ever.
