Literate Scientist

If you ask me about the single book to learn about mathematics used in computer science I would recommend without hesitation the following two volumes:

Comprehensive Mathematics for Computer Scientists 1: Sets and Numbers, Graphs and Algebra, Logic and Machines, Linear Geometry

Comprehensive Mathematics for Computer Scientists 2: Calculus and ODEs, Splines, Probability, Fourier and Wavelet Theory, Fractals and Neural Networks, Categories and Lambda Calculus

The breadth of covered mathematics is astonished. Each topic from 43 of them is fit into 10 to 20 pages which is very manageable to read if you need just a review and want to understand major concepts, definitions and theorems. I read the first edition of the first volume when it was published couple of years ago. Now I decided to refresh my knowledge, read the second edition of the first volume and then read the second volume.
