Finance Math

A nice intro to math finance that provides a background understanding of discrete-time asset-pricing theory. Do note that this book is a bit on the older side and, in my opinion, mainly exists to prelude volume two.

Biology

This is just a super helpful textbook I referred back to a lot when I was taking the Honors Modern Biology course at CMU. The visualizations are intuitive, and the writing is clear, though sometimes more in-depth than I needed. Not much to say other than that it’s a great resource for the basics.
