On a very apt topic for HN readers, though, who likely enjoy math to some degree and have heard of LLMs. What if the post inspires someone to look into revisiting actively learning math as an adult? Is that so bad?
Yes, I agree, it reads like an ad. But I did in fact find it inspiring.
For all I know, maybe it is a targeted ad. I am a software engineer at a large company. I was selected and flown to HQ for training on integrating LLMs into applications. I am currently building systems that support our data scientists.
I’ve tried picking up more math skills a few times. But I’ve never taken trig or calc.
I’d like to understand ML and LLMs better, but I feel like I’m not even sure where to start with trying to learn math. For I have a family and a job as well.
So the adult track of that Math Academy site does seem like something I would try.
