The book looks very intriguing! Before buying it, I wish I could read a bit more about what one could expect from the book. Let me explain :)

> This book is for people as untechnical as my Mom or as technical as my Applied Scientist friends working in big tech.

> ODEs On A Diet

Do you present an intuitive explanation of ODEs? Would both your mom and an Applied Scientist find it informative? If yes, I would love to read! A few pages from this chapter would really help in making a purchasing decision.

> a solution to Multi-Armed Bandit problems which are significantly more efficient and only takes a few lines of extra code.

Does the book include code samples? As someone wanting to learn about, e.g., ODEs through code, I would love it code samples were present in the book.

I understand that $7.99 is not a lot in the US, but it is not the case in a few other parts of the world. Given that there are no refunds, having more information about the book would be valuable for international customers.

BUT... the books looks great, and big congratulations on publishing it!



Send me an email and I can get you a PDF free to read before you choose to buy.
