Mathematics for Programmers [pdf]

For all the mathematics enthusiasts and scholars out here, we have Slack and Freenode IRC channels[1][2] to discuss mathematics and computer science literature like this.

It is a reading and discussion group that focuses on math and CS books, articles, and papers, as well as using software tools like Python, WolframAlpha, Desmos, etc. to explore new concepts we come across. As an example of what we discuss in this forum, see "From Vector Spaces to Periodic Functions"[3] that was a result of one of the discussions in this forum. We plan to discuss Munchausen numbers[4] next.

If this sounds interesting to you, please join us.

Just a suggestion: Why not add a Discord link too ?

I think Slack is better suited for information oriented conversation

Why?

Maybe because there are no threads in discord. If you want to reply to someone on discord you can only use 'cite' or @. And if there alot of people in a channel its hard to follow a discussion.

Isn't it possible to send them a DM?

And then nobody else benefits from the discussion
