star history
What it does This repository hosts the open-source companion to Book 3, Elements of Mathematics, in the Chinese “Iris Book” series that targets the road from basic arithmetic to machine learning. The materials are presented as Jupyter Notebooks, while the README itself behaves more like a permanent flyer for discounted print copies and typo bounties.
The interesting bit The project has collected 7,516 stars even though its README offers no syllabus, no setup instructions, and no explanation of the notebook structure—only Zhihu purchase links and a promise of free books for prolific proofreaders.
Key highlights
- Chinese-language curriculum covering the math foundations for machine learning
- Published as part of a multi-volume book series with print editions available
