I feel like I'm in the same boat: not hugely great at math (I mean I can do algebra and various geometries) but calculus and a lot of AI literature I've read that included algorithms were just very complicated for me to figure out.

So I would also be interested in this book of yours. If you want my feedback I'm also available but I certainly don't expect handouts; just add me to a list to spam when you get your book finished :)
