Tivadar Danka catalogs his entire ML math library into one free resource page
TivadarDanka · x · 2026-09-04
Math writer Tivadar Danka spent a day tagging and organizing every post from his newsletter The Palindrome into a free, browsable machine learning math library.
- Math fundamentals: 7-part series covering what math is, definitions/theorems/proofs, the science of reasoning, induction and contradiction, sets/relations/functions
- ML math: core topics like linear algebra (matrices and graphs, measuring angles between functions, non-recursive Fibonacci formulas)
- More: neural networks from scratch, ML fundamentals, "Epsilons" (essential math in 500 words), and math history
Danka argues math is taught wrong, with its usefulness hidden behind convoluted formulas, and the library is still being filled in.
