I need the best mathematics book/textbook for engineering student (mechanical engineering in this case). I want enough math theory and examples to understand how things work but not going too deep into unuseful (for me) problems and theorems. Thanks!

The /sci/ wiki has some stuff.

But I personally would reccoment either Feynman Lectures Vol 1 or Kleppner's "An Introduction To Mechanics"

this fampai. undergrad mech E is pretty light on the math you need.

once you take numerical methods, your days of doing analytical solutions are over. just have a strong foundation in calc/diff eq.

also, read these unless you want to be a colossal pleb.

You definitely should. It's a great book - chapters are really very easily digestible!
