You forgot to add the books by Elias Zakon on Real Analysis and Number Theory.
Awesome list btw!

Here’s a few more legal ebooks — McCallaugh’s Tensor Methods in Statistics shows how to handle variables with more than pairwise interactions, Jaynes PROBABILITY THEORY: THE LOGIC OF SCIENCE is the bible of maximum entropy methods, Abramowitz / Stegun’s Handbook of Mathematical Functions is the go-to book for any formula involving special functions, Gallier’s Discrete Mathematics has an advanced and accessible overview of combinatorial counting, Durrett’s Probability: Theory and Examples is very densely (in a good way) filled with formulas, inequalities and facts relating to probability.
