Math for Programming (No Starch Press)
Monday, 19 May 2025

This book covers the essential mathematics that will take you from basic coding to serious software development. Ronald T. Kneusel shows how vectors and matrices give you the power to handle complex data, how calculus drives optimization and machine learning, and how graph theory leads to advanced search algorithms.

Every great programming challenge has mathematical principles at its heart. Whether you’re optimizing search algorithms, building physics engines for games, or training neural networks, success depends on your grasp of core mathematical concepts.
