wufuheng · reddit · 2026-09-02
The 3rd edition of "Mathematics for AI and Machine Learning" ranked 2nd on Amazon's Best Seller list.
Key updates include:
- Linking the discrete matrix view of attention to mean-field interacting particle PDEs.
- Chapter 21 explores PDEs beyond diffusion, modeling two-layer network training as Wasserstein gradient flow and framing continuous-depth self-attention as a transport conservation law.
The author is calling for reviewers to bridge mathematics and arts.
