  There is another book by the same author but it seems out of print https://scholarcommons.scu.edu/faculty_books/459/

  Similar title: A brief course in modern math for programmers

  Why is the title so generic? It seems the subtitle is the real title…

  One can argue that today’s coder needs to understand how code-generating LLMs work. Which means learning a bit of linear algebra, calculus, and probability/stats.
