Thank you for making this. I'm a good programmer, but was awful at math in high school and college. I've often thought that now that I'm older (40s) and more patient (most days), I would like to try again, but have never found the right resource. I don't know if this is it, but I appreciate your effort and will order the book ASAP!
Nice. Years ago practical maths to my programming needs was Concrete Mathematics for algorithm analysis, combinatorics for data structures, queuing theory for performance analysis, mathematical stats for data analysis, and optimization theories for discrete optimizations. Calculus and linear algebra came in here and there as tools for those maths. It looks nowadays there's less need for diving into such maths as well-packaged systems and libraries solve most of my problems. I'm very curious what topics your book will cover for the new generation of programmers.
I'm working on a second book: Practical Math for Programmers. Some details at https://pmfpbook.org/
Every weekend I livetweet my notes and research on the new book over at j2kun@mathstodon.xyz, e.g., https://mathstodon.xyz/@j2kun/110283189611214753
Happy to entertain any ideas folks have for topics! Got a long backlog to go through, but there's always room for more.
