I'm working on a book for programmers who want to learn math. I can send you the first few chapters if you're interested, but I'm also interested to hear your thoughts about math in general.
- zangiku 9y agoI'd like to review and give feedback
- j2kun 9y agoI don't believe I have a way to contact you, but shoot me an email at mathintersectprogramming@gmail.com
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoI feel like I'm in the same boat: not hugely great at math (I mean I can do algebra and various geometries) but calculus and a lot of AI literature I've read that included algorithms were just very complicated for me to figure out. So I would also be interested in this book of yours. If you want my feedback I'm also available but I certainly don't expect handouts; just add me to a list to spam when you get your book finished :)
- j2kun 9y agoCheck your keybase folder /private/j2kun,krissiegel/ or ping me at mathintersectprogramming@gmail.com
- BinaryIdiot 9y agoI guess it's time I check out keybase's file stuff. Thanks!
- gbersac 9y agoIf you are doing this, this is what I'd love : a book with theory and ton of exercises. My usual workflow is : I read theory, kind of understand something. Then first try one type of exercise that applied that theory. I don't understand a thing. Then I read the solution and I get it. I then need at least two if not more exercises more to play with that theory before I REALLY get it in my mind. So please, add at least three exercises for each of the applications of each concepts explained in your book.
- pdimitar 9y agoSeconded 1000 times. We have tons of books written in a pompous manner with self-patting on the back and full of theory only. If you do indeed finish that book, consider me sold on it even if it costs $150 -- if it contains a lot of practical examples and exercises.
