TITLE: Similar books to "The linear algebra a graduate student ought to know"
QUESTION [7 upvotes]: Are there books in other branches in the similar fashion of Golan's "The Linear Algebra a Beginning Graduate Student Ought to Know"?

REPLY [5 votes]: I think there are many books that claim this (not exactly by title), so there are many.
For example, almost all math programs and colleges require courses in Calculus, Linear Algebra and Complex Variables, so you could seek out titles along those lines.
However, here are some of that ilk that you might be interested in:

All the Mathematics You Missed: But Need to Know for Graduate School, Thomas A. Garrity, Lori Pedersen
Analysis for Applied Mathematics, Ward Cheney
A Mathematician's Survival Guide: Graduate School and Early Career Development, Steven G. Krantz (Not Technical)
You might also have luck in finding things on websites dedicated to resources for graduate students, for example Resources for Graduate Students.
Lastly, you might want to peruse the answers for fun but serious mathematics books to gift advanced undergraduates.
