There’s a course “Street Fighting Mathematics” on MIT OCW, with an associated free Creative Commons textbook (PDF). It’s about estimation tricks and heuristics that can be used when working with math problems. Despite the pop-sounding title, it appears to be written for people who are actually expected to be doing nontrivial math.

Might be relevant to the simple math of everything stuff.
For a teaser, the part about singing logarithms looks cool.
