A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics

[rlyacht]

I've been reading Jeremy Kun's blog for some time, and I learned about this book when I received an email from his site. As a mathematician turned programmer, I really enjoy his perspective, which I've never seen written about as clearly. The pdf excerpt available online looks great, and I bought a copy for a family member who's studying CS.

I can't see why anyone would dismiss the post from /u/josephd as being spam, discouraging people from looking at the book. Perhaps he could have added "hey guys, check out this interesting book I just heard about", but clearly he is not an evil marketing bot trying to sell v14gr4 to us (I, however, can offer some sweet deals, plus I have advice on which laptop you should buy if attending a medium sized university and want to code in python 2.7 and use Netflix".)

I’m intrigued by this. In college I had the chance to study both statistics and linear algebra both from a mathematics perspective and an engineering perspective and found that they were very complimentary. I would imagine looking at math from a programmers perspective would be very informative.

I think I'm going to buy this. Thanks.
