I'd like to augment request one step further: Is there anything that kinda goes through the fundamentals all over again, but is programming aware?

I constantly assert that I'd have actually been successful with mathematics throughout school if I were able apply it in code (which was not a thing in my educational environment); not with my broken brain where I fuck up numbers on paper and use my fingers for arithmetic.

Graphics programming where applied linear algebra is built from the ground up

Most of it is done but I’m updating the content in web form weekly

I have, but have not yet read, this one. It appears to claim to be something like what you're looking for.

There is also the coding based Linear Algebra course that is available online (there's an accompanying print book).

And somebody who posts here on HN recently published a book with a title something like "Mathematics for Computer Programmers" or something to that effect. I forget the username and the exact title though. If you search around you can probably find it.

Edit: here's that last one. A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics

This is the second time today I'm recommending Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming". It really is a math book, and it includes answers to ALL the exercises. For example, the last 150 pages of Volume 1 are solutions to the exercises.
