I bought it back in the days when it first came out, loved it a lot. Helped me a lot as a “self-made” programmer. Shortly afterwards I actually started a formal pure math education in my 30s at uni, but with a second child on the way that journey stopped after only completing the first year. In the meanwhile there’s also a third kid. Still, really fell in love with mathematics during my career as a programmer and when the kids are bigger it will be a hobby that gets more attention again. Suffice to say. Love the book. Will it make you a fully fledged mathematician? Of course not. Can it teach more or better, sure, what not? But it’s a great introduction anyway and it may inspire many that otherwise might not be inspired. Mathematics is really fun if you’re not afraid to feel uncomfortable all the time. Luckily most good programmers probably have that same feeling all the time anyway. I can only hope for more books like this, I have some space reserved for them on one of my dusty shelves! Big thanks for the author to write this book!
