Learning Math for Machine Learning
I&#x27;m kinda curious why so many people think that Linear Algebra Done Right is an introductory book for beginners who have math anxiety. Don&#x27;t get me wrong, the book is great and I enjoyed working it through. It was a magical experience when I saw how simple it was to prove some seemingly hard theorems by just linking the right definitions and theorems. That said, the book does require certain level of math maturity as it achieves its elegance by staying at certain level of abstraction and its style is quite formal, so much so that a person who can use this book as its first linear algebra textbook shouldn&#x27;t have math anxiety at all.
