I am basically trying to understand the formulas in machine learning papers, will this book help achieve improvements in speed?

I just realize I fear math because the educational system I grew up in was violent (like beating kids for getting a quiz wrong wtf).

It was only through psilocybin mushrooms did I discover math and calculus again.

Plenty of cliffhangers in this comment

Sure, I grew up in South Korea much of my childhood, corporal punishments was the norm.

So I have this phobia of calculus and math. Anytime I'm faced with a formula I get this panic attack. Some may call it PTSD. But it explains why I had such problem with calculus and it really made me feel inferior.

it's still a cliff hanger, searching for my arc.
