There is a new Humble Bundle of interest to game developers, the Math for Programmers by Manning Publications. It’s a collection of e-books specifically targeted at programmers on a wide variety of math and algorithmic topics. As with all Humble Bundles, it is organized into tiers:
1$ Tier
- Machine Learning in Action
- Algorithms for the Intelligent Web
- Quantum Computing in Action MEAP
8$ Tier
- Grokking Bitcoin
- Succeeding with AI
- Practical Recommender Systems
- Data Wrangling with JavaScript
- Grokking Machine Learning MEAP
12$ Tier
- Get Programming with Haskel
- Data Science with Python and Dask
- Modern Fortran
- Practical Data Science with R
- Math and Architectures of Deep Learning MEAP
15$ Tier
- Math for Programmers
- Grokking Algorithms
- Algorithms and Data Structures in Action MEAP
Books marked as MEAP are Manning Early Access Program, meaning the book is still in development and hasn’t been through the final editing process. This is a double edged sword as the books are cutting edge but make lack polish. As with all Humbles you can decide how your funds are allocated between Humble, charity, the publisher and (and thanks so much if you do!) to support GFS by using this link. You can learn more about the Math for Programmers Bundle in the video below. If you are interested in books for game developers, also be sure to check out this ongoing bundle.
