Advanced Engineering MathematicsAdvanced Engineering Mathematics by Erwin Kreyszig
Buy new: $137.26 / Used from: $99.66
This book has a nice summary of undergraduate applied math for engineers - ranging from ODES, Complex Analysis, and Numerical Analysis, all the way to PDEs and Fourier Series. However, it doesn't go very deep in any one category. Great book though.
Applied Partial Differential Equations (4th Edition)Applied Partial Differential Equations (4th Edition) by Richard Haberman
Buy new: $99.60 / Used from: $53.00
This PDE text is excellent for people who like methodical lessons rather than more conceptual ones. It is well written, and worth the money.
