A Programmer’s Introduction to Mathematics

I’ve come to be somewhat known as a “math guy” in creative coding. It’s one of my impostor syndrome items because I’m really not any kind of expert in the field. I took Algebra and some Precalculus in high school banged my head on a formal Calculus course, but never made it through. Most of what I know has been self-taught and pretty seat-of-the-pants.

I’m pretty good at fumbling my way through things, figuring out intuitively how things work to the point where I can use them pretty expertly to do what I need to do with them, but I could not hold my own in a conversation with anyone who has a real math background.
