Hey HN, I don’t know who else has the same issue, but:

Textbooks often bury good ideas in dense notation, skip the intuition, assume you already know half the material, and get outdated in fast-moving fields like AI.

Over the past 7 years of my AI/ML experience, I filled notebooks with intuition-first, real-world context, no hand-waving explanations of maths, computing and AI concepts.

In 2024, a few friends used these notes to prep for interviews at DeepMind, OpenAI, Nvidia etc. They all got in and currently perform well in their roles. So I'm sharing.

This is an open & unconventional textbook covering maths, computing, and artificial intelligence from the ground up. For curious practitioners seeking deeper understanding, not just survive an exam/interview.

To ambitious students, an early careers or experts in adjacent fields looking to become cracked AI research engineers or progress to PhD, dig in and let me know your thoughts.
