I have very little formal education in advanced maths, but I’m highly motivated to learn the math needed to understand AI. Should i take a stab at parsing through and trying to understand this paper (maybe even using AI to help, heh) or would that be counter-productive from the get-go and I'm better off spending my time following some structured courses in pre-requisite maths before trying to understand these research papers?

Thank you for sharing this paper!

You might take a course on linear-algebra, at K.A. for example:

And any prereqs you need. I also find the math-is-fun site to be excellent when I need to brush up on something from long ago and want a concise explanation. i.e. A 10 minute review, more than a few pithy sentences, yet less than a dozen-hour diatribe.
