That’s a really nice way of putting it.
As a grown up who has already been working as a software developer for ~10 years, do you have any recommendations on books to read, courses to do etc if I want to improve my maths? I’m not terrible, but I know I could be a lot better!
- anpat 8y agoI was on the same boat as yours about 3 months ago and I picked up 3 books based on HN comments; 1. No bullshit guide to Maths and Physics [1] 2. No bullshit guide to Linear Algebra [1] 3. A programmer’s introduction to mathematics [2] I haven’t gone through the books completely but I’m halfway through the ‘no bullshit..’ books and I liked them based on how easy they were for me to approach. May be they also fit your learning style as well? Hope this helps and happy learning.

- shriek 8y agoI'm same as you too but I did have some background in math from college but I've been rusty on them already. - I know it's said over and over again but KhanAcademy is pretty good for high-school math - For probability, I'm also going over this website[1] at the moment. Maybe someone else has other recommendations too - Linear Algebra is next on my list but others have given some reference for it already - Andrew Ng's course on Machine Learning from Coursera is also another frequently recommended if you are trying to learn math for it [1] https://www.probabilitycourse.com/ https://www.probabilitycourse.com/
