Maths, CS & AI Compendium
Most textbooks bury good ideas under dense notation, skip the intuition, assume you already know half the material, and quickly get outdated in fast-moving fields like AI. This is an open, unconventional textbook covering maths, computing, and artificial intelligence from the ground up. Written for curious practitioners looking to deeply understand the stuff, not just survive an exam/interview.
This repo includes an MCP server that lets any AI assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, etc.) use the compendium as a knowledge base. It requires a local clone of the repo. Comes with tools for educational purposes and example implementations.
