I like that the author spends time on notation, mapping math concepts to their equivalent in code. In my experience this is a big stumbling block for coders trying to learn math.

It's difficult enough for the general audience to learn math notation (alien symbols), but coders face the extra difficulty of "namespace conflicts" for the meaning of math symbols (e.g. = sign does not mean assignment).
