Sorry, off-topic: can you recommend some (applied) math books for self study people can read before your book is published?
I realize the question is somewhat strange and the answer depends on what people work on. Let's say it is not ML/AI.
I've enjoyed e.g. 'Calculus' by G. Simmons and Niven's 'The Mathematics of Choice' even though I didn't apply any of that at work.

I remember reading this excellent little book with very easy to understand explanations of some of the basics re. permutations and combinations, back in school:
"Mathematics of Choice: How to Count Without Counting" by Ivan Morton Niven
