What are the 1-2 books that are constantly recommended here?



"A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics", by Jeremy Kun is the one you'll see a lot

https://pimbook.org/

The other one is in web format, it's something along the lines of "Visual Linear Algebra". Really unsure of title, but it's centered around visualizations of the math.

On my laptop I would post bookmark but I'm in bed on phone, sorry =/

Edit: Here

there's also Intro to mathematical thinking: https://www.coursera.org/learn/mathematical-thinking/home/we...

and mathematics for machine learning: https://mml-book.github.io/


MCS - Mathematics for Computer Science - is one. From MIT, free. A google should find it.

There are also lectures by one of the authors (Tom Leighton) covering those topics.
