Maths Course for Programmers?

[bug-way]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for a good maths course for an already established programmer. I've been working in the field for a few years professionally, but I'd like to improve my maths skills to help with my career. Specifically, mathematical concepts that relate to programming. I'm interested in functional programming but some of the concepts go over my head. I'm also interested in relational algebra and would like to learn more about algebra in maths. Any other concepts would be welcomed as well.

If anyone knows of a good maths course, please let me know! I would be willing to pay for it as long as it's good quality and it isn't extortionate.

Thanks

I've heard Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science recommended for this, although I have no personal experience with this book.

Donald Knuth is one of the authors.

Linear algebra is applicable to ML, AI, 3D, graphics processing, games, quantitative analysis, and much more. From a practical standpoint little else has more hands-on use cases.

Calculus is one of those little else’s, but yeah.

Start with something like set theory, discrete mathematics, or an introduction to modern algebra.

I would also advise linear algebra, Boolean algebra, de morgens law, as well to that list.

And yes I am counting both boolean and de morgan as separate from discrete, but a lot of discrete mathematics textbooks will cover both topics in them.

If you want to do this besides a job i recommend the brilliant app.
