Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms, by David J. C. MacKay is published by Cambridge University Press, but is, nevertheless, freely available online.
Linear Partial Differential Equations and Fourier Theory , by Marcus Pivato.
Another one by
Professor Pivato is Voting, Arbitration, and Fair Division: The Mathematics of Social Choice.
Introduction to Vectors and Tensors, Volume 1, Linear and Multilinear Algebra, and Introduction to Vectors and Tensors, Volume 2, Vector and Tensor Analysis by Ray M. Bowen and C.-C.Wang, are revised versions of books originally published by Plenum Press in 1976.
Another one by
Professor Bowen and originally published by Plenum Press is Introduction to Continuum Mechanics for Engineers.
Numerical Methods and Analysis for Engineers, by Douglas Wilhelm Harder.
Analysis of Functions of a Single Variable, by Lawerence Baggett, was originally written to be used for a one semester senior course, but the author suggests that it is more appropriate for first year graduate students.

Mathematics Under the Microscope, by Alexandre Borovik, is, according to the author, an attempt "to start a dialogue between mathematicians and cognitive scientists."
Introduction to Statistical Signal Processing, by R. M. Gray and L. D. Davisson is, according to Professor Gray, a "...much revised version of the earlier text Random Processes: An Introduction for Engineers, Prentice-Hall, 1986, which is long out of print." The current book is published by Cambridge University Press.
Not simply an online textbook, but certainly in the same spirit is the
Topology Webcourse project undertaken by Topology Atlas.
This is, I suppose, not a textbook, but nevertheless an interesting reference:
The Matrix Cookbook, by Kaare Brandt Petersen, and Michael Syskind Pedersen.
Not really a textbook either,
Constants, by Steven Finch, is, nevertheless, a nice collection of essays. The title pretty much describes the subject.
So you got your math books........
