welcome

This book was written for software developers and anyone in the tech industry who wants to move beyond the buzzwords and truly grasp the intuition behind artificial intelligence. To get the most from this book, you should have a handle on basic programming concepts like variables, loops, and functions; experience in any language is perfectly fine. A basic understanding of math concepts, like how functions are represented on a graph, will also be helpful. My goal is to make these powerful algorithms accessible through visual explanations and practical examples, rather than deep dives into academic theory and mathematical proofs.

I've always been driven by a passion for making complex topics intuitive. I wanted to create the book I wished I had when I was starting out: one that builds a deep, practical understanding of how these algorithms work, why they were designed the way they are, and where they can be applied to solve real-world problems.
