What makes this book exciting to me is that "computer programming is used to explain the mathematical formulas". As someone who struggles with some areas of mathematics (the ones I wish I paid more attention to in high school because I could be using them now) but who finds more ease with understanding the code examples used in this book, I would love to read more books like this. What other books on mathematics could you recommend to a programmer such as myself? Are there any books on Linear Algebra or Calculus who take the same approach, to teach using a programming language?

This reminds me of a concept I have been toying with for a while now that I would love to see implemented. What I would absolutely adore is a wiki styled over the idea of covering mathematical topics in the style of a programming API, and teach it in the same manner. Meaning that someone could use the math as a concept to kludge some code together, or teach it to themselves in this style using the material. I've been too lazy to start the wiki myself, and not nearly knowledgeable enough to throw together to a few topics to get the ball rolling. If anyone likes this idea, please steal it, it's something I would love to see.
