A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics
- throwaway84_TO 7y agoAnybody give this a quick skim and can offer any insight?
- dvfjsdhgfv 7y agoPersonally I found it quite useful, although I was already familiar with several topics, it was interesting to read the author's perspective. Answers to exercises would be great, but even without them I found the content satisfying and useful enough.
- Philipp0205 7y agoLook interesting!
- jonplackett 7y agoThis looks on the surface like exactly the book I need but a quick look at the amazon reviews shows some flaws, no answers to the exercises seems a bit annoying. I’d also really like an eBook that is formatted rather than a PDF because I read on a phone. Saying that, I really would like to be better at math so might end up trying anyway.
- drej 7y ago"This is the ebook edition, a full-color pdf containing the complete contents of the book (the physical book is black and white). Due to the heavy use of mathematical typesetting, there is no plan for a ebook-reader-specific format (mobi, epub). This ebook is a simple pdf download." https://gumroad.com/l/pim-book https://gumroad.com/l/pim-book
- jwdunne 7y agoThat used to annoy me too but Foxit PDF reader app makes it far more pleasurable an experience. It's not like flipping a page but it's as good as reading a PDF on desktop.
