Ironically, you can probably just ask a Transformer model to explain it to you. I'm the same as you: I have no problem grasping complex concepts, I just always struggled with the mathematical notation. I did pass linear algebra in university, but was glad I could go back to programming after that. Even then, I mostly passed linear algebra because I wrote functions that solve linear algebra equations until I fully grasped the concept. I've found that GPT-4 is very good at taking a math-notation-rich document and just describing it in terms a math-notation-averse engineer would understand. I was a data engineer for about 6-7 years at various companies, always working together with data scientists who insist that `x_` or `_phi` are proper variable names. Man am I glad to be working with engineers now.
