Here you go: Quantum in Pictures: A New Way to Understand the Quantum World [1]. In recent years, quantum computing has been reduced to category theory, which in turn has been reduced to manipulating "spider diagrams". No traditional math needed. You can see some example transformations here [2]. You can transfer the money to Bob Coecke [3].

“Oh I meant 1000 Liberian Dollars”

  I actually meant it, but I suppose I've learned my lesson about offering people money on the internet. They don't read past the possible promise for money and throw as a bunch of shit at the wall to try to both (1) make the offerer do a bunch of work and (2) get it without actually meeting the criteria (knowningly...). Case in point, the whole set of replies here are people who didn't read past the first sentence of that comment.

Not quite what I had in mind, but I'll buy the book and check for both usefulness and Kets. This is still basically an explainer of the matrix algebra representation of algorithms, which is the part I actually don't like (not the notation per se).
