How I’m (re)learning math as an adult
I recently passed 100 days of practicing math every single day 💯
I’ve wanted to beef up my math chops for a while, but I needed a good reason that would justify the time investment. Plus, it’s always easier to learn when you have a clear goal and something meaningful to apply it to.
So, it never reached the top of my priority list. But then a couple things happened recently that gave me 1) sufficient motivation and 2) a clear path.
The motivation
I’ve worked on various AI products over the last year and like understanding the technical aspects of the products I build.
But as I dug in to learn more about how large language models (LLMs) and transformers worked…I was lost. It was humbling.
