Mixing math history and Fourier Series/Electronics you might try Paul J. Nahim's _An Imaginary Tale: The Story of SQRT(-1)_ for the history, and the same author's _Dr Euler's Magic Formula Cures Many Mathematical Ills_ for more than you ever wanted to know about Fourier series/transforms and electrical engineering. Bedside reading for me.
2020-05-29 22:16:48 +0000 UTCHello, loved the series! I posted this on reddit. Taking Grant's advice for problem solving, I would like to do more reading on math. I am getting near the end of Infinite Powers by Steven Strogatz. Does anyone have suggestions on what to read next? I liked this book because it gave me insight, and history, into Calculus that I did not get when I was in college. This book was difficult for me to read and took time. I'm not sure I am ready for more advanced reading. What books should I read? Is there something about Fourier Series? Power Electronics? Statistics? Or just a fun book on math or math history?
2020-05-28 13:50:39 +0000 UTCTwo more humble suggestions, from a class I taught in grad school: list all possibilities (if there are too many, can you categorize them?) and work backwards (start at the/a possible answer and see if you can deduce anything). As it turns out, our lists overlap quite a bit! I did not have symmetry and read a lot :)

2020-05-23 17:07:42 +0000 UTCOn your bookshelf, over your left shoulder, is that the pair of TCP/IP Illustrated volumes by W. Richard Stevens published by Addison-Wesley?
2020-05-23 06:01:54 +0000 UTCLet me recommend Schoenfeld’s 1985 book _Mathematical Problem Solving_ (and the rest of his later work)
