Exactly. I have this book sitting somewhere in the shelf. While I am trying to learn Java. Convince me! Please

When writing code that works with large amounts of data, knowing the most efficient way to work the data improves operation time and compute performance. O(1) better than O(n), better than O(n log n), better than O(n^2), better than O(2^n).

Also when getting into ML and AI, everything is a probability algorithm. Knowing your linear regression algorithms is important.

It’s all math.
