I'm going to say a strong no to that. The programming parts are fine, but on a quick skim, the mathematics is written in a way they will likely find very confusing unless they already know calculus and leave them thinking they are bad at maths whereas actually the author is just not really trying to explain the maths to someone who doesn't already know it. For example look at the diagram on[1]. It has unlabled axes of a shaded L-shaped box with a curve going through it and then it is followed by a bunch of equations where he derives the formula for integration by parts using a set of parametric equations with multiple substitutions etc. I know what integration by parts is and how it works really well. This is possibly the most confusing way you could possibly derive the formula and/or explain it, and this diagram really adds absolutely nothing unless you already know and understand the concept. If you have seen the exceptional diagrams and illustrations and clarity of explanation in a book like "Calculus" by James Stewart the contrast is so stark it really jumps out. The normal way of explaining integration by parts starts the way the author does (with the product rule for derivitives) and shows a few examples of taking the derivitive of things using the product rule so you get an intuition for what the form of the resulting antiderivitive looks like. You then go through the derivation of the formula for integration by parts by using the product rule for derivitives, integrating both sides and splitting the resulting integral[2]. Its very clear and easy to follow. And if they want to actually help the student to do this they teach something like the tabular/"DI" method so the student isn't tearing their hair out getting the signs mixed up when integrating by parts multiple times.

Note that this isn't me really trying to explain it to a beginner - it's just my personal notes but it's still a lot easier to follow than the example given https://publish.obsidian.md/uncarved/3+Resources/Public/Integration+by+parts https://publish.obsidian.md/uncarved/3+Resources/Public/Inte...
