Ironically, you can probably just ask a Transformer model to explain it to you.

I'm the same as you: I have no problem grasping complex concepts, I just always struggled with the mathematical notation. I did pass linear algebra in university, but was glad I could go back to programming after that. Even then, I mostly passed linear algebra because I wrote functions that solve linear algebra equations until I fully grasped the concept.

I've found that GPT-4 is very good at taking a math-notation-rich document and just describing it in terms a math-notation-averse engineer would understand.

I was a data engineer for about 6-7 years at various companies, always working together with data scientists who insist that `x_` or `_phi` are proper variable names. Man am I glad to be working with engineers now.

This is very effective.

Also, just try really hard. Repeat. It's new language to explain concepts you likely already know. You don't remember spanish by looking at the translations once.
