That is just glib nonsense.

The above books do not need a math degree; You just need to become "familiar" with the mathematical form and its jargon. Most programmers can read and understand them.

You can easily finish the books in a couple of months using AI for clarifying/simplifying difficult concepts to gain quicker understanding.

AI can produce all the How but the What/Why still needs to happen in your head and hence the need to understand the mathematics.
