    Mathematical Physics for Undergrad

    No, it's not. Both are suitable for an undergrad course.. I think you may be referring to this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/0387985794/?tag=pfamazon01-20

    Good Books about the Overviews of Mathematics

    I like this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/0691118809/?tag=pfamazon01-20 though some parts may be too advanced...

    Best Classical Mechanics book (not intro to mechanics)

    There are lots of great CM books out there. Besides Taylor and Gregory some of my favorites are - Scheck - Mechanics: From Newton's Laws to Deterministic Chaos https://www.amazon.com/dp/3540219250/?tag=pfamazon01-20 -Lanczos - The Variational Principles of Mechanics...

    Mathematical Methods book for Undergraduate

    Hassani is the one you're looking for! It's not as rigorous as a pure math book, but it is certainly not the typical hand-wavy math methods book. Szekeres is also a great book though...

    Is Lang's Book on Differential Geometry Suitable for Beginners?

    In my opinion the exercises are not that hard. I think there's a good balance between computational exercises and proofs... you souldn't have much trouble figuring out whether your answers are correct or not.

    Is Lang's Book on Differential Geometry Suitable for Beginners?

    I have the second edition and it doesn't contain solutions. Maybe they added some in the third edition but I'm not sure...

    Is Lang's Book on Differential Geometry Suitable for Beginners?

    I'm really surprised no one has mentioned Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity by John Baez... https://www.amazon.com/dp/9810220340/?tag=pfamazon01-20 I love that book, it's not very rigorous, but it provides a lot of insight, and for each topic gives a list of references, so that if you wish to, you...

    Book(s) to gain practice with green's functions, spherical harmonics

    I'm confused haha.. you dislike hand-wavy books, but you are not looking for a pure math book... You should also note that Hassani wrote two books, Math Methods For Students of Physics and Related Fields (maybe the one you looked at), and the one I mentioned earlier, which is a graduate...

    Book(s) to gain practice with green's functions, spherical harmonics

    Hassani gives a really nice treatment of Green Functions in his book Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to its Foundations https://www.amazon.com/dp/0387985794/?tag=pfamazon01-20

    Replacing introductory physics book with a set of more advanced books?

    I'd also replace Born & Wolf (too advanced) and Hecht (too verbose) with Kenyon https://www.amazon.com/dp/0199584605/?tag=pfamazon01-20

    Need a good course or textbook to learn intermediate ODE's

    You could try Ordinary Differential Equations by Arnold https://www.amazon.com/dp/0262510189/?tag=pfamazon01-20 or Differential Equations: A Dynamical Systems Approach by Hubbard & West https://www.amazon.com/dp/0387972862/?tag=pfamazon01-20 They're both great!
