* The Language of Mathematics: Utilizing Math in Practice by Baber https://www.amazon.com/Language-Mathematics-Utilizing-Math-P... really helped me "get it", as I always found programming natural but math hard. This one is written by a CS professor and it really makes all the difference.

* How to Solve it by Polya https://www.amazon.com/How-Solve-Mathematical-Princeton-Scie... and How to Prove it by Velleman https://www.amazon.com/How-Prove-Structured-Approach-2nd/dp/... helped strengthen that understanding.

* This year I am trying to master https://www.amazon.com/Methods-Mathematics-Calculus-Probabil... which focuses on how to "connect the dots".

* I am using Geometry and the Imagination by Hilbert https://www.amazon.com/Geometry-Imagination-AMS-Chelsea-Publ... as an attempt to "immerse" myself in Geometry. I just love this book.
