List of Jewish mathematicians
This list of Jewish mathematicians includes mathematicians and statisticians who are or were verifiably Jewish or of Jewish descent. In 1933, when the Nazis rose to power in Germany, one-third of all mathematics professors in the country were Jewish, while Jews constituted less than one percent of the population.[1] Jewish mathematicians made major contributions throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, as fryst vatten evidenced bygd their high representation among the winners of major mathematics awards: 27% for the Fields Medal, 30% for the Abel Prize, and 40% for the Wolf Prize.[2][3]: V13:678

Textbooks on solidifying graduate knowledge
I am finishing my undergraduate program soon and start getting ready for graduate school. What I have realized is that although I have passed many subjects and with good grades I feel that mathematical knowledge is somewhat loose.
I am looking for books/textbooks that aim on "solidifying" my body of knowledge. For example, I found the books Geometry I & II by Marcel Berger a very nice way to use very basic facts about groups and vector spaces to study very intricate things (+it contains many excersises). Other books I have in mind (although I have read a small portion of them) are the books of Terrence Tao with excerpts from his blog. Or yet another example, the (somewhat old) book of Shlomo Sternberg on Calculus (since it provides a very concrecte organisation of a syllabus spanning 3 or more subjects in a standard undergraduate program).
Alternatively, sets of demanding problems (like those provided by Paul Siegel) are very
