What Hacker News says?
I highly recommend the one that I am currently reading: Proofs: A Long Form Math Textbook by Jay Cummings [0]. There are two lists [1][2], one by Mark Saroufim, another one by Susan Rigetti that I have been following for quite some time now and intend to follow for the next months and years.

When I started my Physics major, I had to complete two advanced Maths courses titled- Mathematical Methods I, II. My love for Math took off from there. If you ask for books, then I would mention the MP book by Arfken, Weber, Harris. So minimal, yet straight to the point. Consistent and edifying. I read a different Maths book in…

on “Ask HN: Books that made you fascinated to learn more mathematics?”Someone has already mentioned Susan Rigetti's list [0]. I also recommend Mark Saroufim's list [1]. In addition, I will recommend to you "Proof: A Long Form Math Textbook" by Jay Cummings. This is a really nice book which I can recommend highly. Also, look at "A Programmer’s Introduction to Mathematics" by Jeremy Kun [2]. [0]: https://www.susanrigetti.com/math [1]: https://marksaroufim.medium.com/technical-books-i-%E…
