4. Mathematical Analysis:

4a. Good prep for Analysis: How to Think About Analysis - Alcock

4b. Understanding Analysis (2nd ed) - Abbott OR Yet Another Introduction to Analysis - Bryant (has full solutions) OR The How and Why of One Variable Calculus - Sasane OR Mathematical Analysis - A Straightforward Approach (2nd ed) - Binmore (has full solutions)

5. Discrete Mathematics (a combination of set theory, combinatorics, a bit of discrete probability and graph theory): Discrete Mathematics - Chetwynd, Diggle

6. Linear Algebra: Linear Algebra - A Modern Introduction (4th ed) - Poole

7. Probability: Introduction to Probability - Blitzstein, Hwang + online course https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/stat110
