This is a book about how numbers learn to speak. Inside, you'll find the gentle mathematics that powers every large language model, from simple counting and geometry to probability, calculus, and information theory. No dense proofs. No jargon. Just intuition, clarity, and connection. If you've ever wondered how equations become understanding, how vectors turn into words, and how meaning takes shape in a sea of numbers, this book will show you, one small idea at a time.

Math being one of my least favorite subjects, I assumed I'd be bored or it would be over my head.

Instead, I'm half way into chapter 3 -- will be sharing! Thank you for this great work!

Thanks for your kind words! Most math textbooks are packed with formulas and abstract stuff, so I tried to do something different, make it fun while still getting the ideas across. Hope you like it!
