  • This is not a math textbook. It's a listing of the math that I am glad to vaguely be aware of, without anything that requires true understanding, because I don't have that, but with references to what the people who do have it can do!

    It's 90kb of pure text and covers a lot of domains with just enough info you could figure out how to make a CAS do the things, with maybe some googling. It's had some reviews, and it fact I think is the only project I've ever got PRs on, but may be incomplete or inaccurate, I can't prove most of this for myself, just test it or find references.

    There are examples but no excercises, my assumption is that math is a computers job, and I only give a starting point for any study beyond "This exists and a machine can do it".

    Further contributions welcome, especially in the domains I haven't covered (Graphs, automata, and lambda calculus would be great of there's anything to add that matches the level and tone I'm going for).

    I'd love to have more CSy stuff, right now it's all from an embedded, wedbdev, and 3d printing perspective.
