In school, I didn't make it much past basic calculus/algebra. As a self-taught programmer (my highest level of education is a high-school diploma), I seriously wish I could go back and put more effort into math. I love looking at these types of topics, but I have absolutely no clue what I'm looking at.
If anyone can recommend any books, courses, or any other material that starts from high-school level math, and gradually increases in complexity, I would love to look at it.
I am writing a book that I hope can serve such a purpose. Would you be interested in taking a look? If so, shoot me an email at mathintersectprogramming@gmail.com
Fair warning, I have shown it to a programmer who claimed some level of "math phobia," and they said the first chapter was too difficult. I rewrote that chapter since, and I think it is better, but I could use some feedback :)
Well... this paper is really designed to be accessible with just high school math, if you take your time (a few weeks or months) and follow the references. Any time it relies on some concept, it includes a link to learning more about that concept, and also has a link to a forum where you can ask questions if you get stuck. There's also a table of all notation used.
If you give it a go and find you're not successful, I'd be interested to hear where is the first point where you got stuck and couldn't get unstuck, since that would suggest a need for us to improve our paper!
If anyone can recommend any books, courses, or any other material that starts from high-school level math, and gradually increases in complexity, I would love to look at it.
Cheers :)
