How much math does the reader need under their belt? Is high-school math sufficient?


Yes high school math is sufficient, as long as you did basic calculus (derivatives and the chain rule) and probability. We cover stuff that's well beyond high school math, but it's introduced when it's used, and we link to external resources for more details as needed.

How much additional effort would it require to incorporate these topics into your course, potentially as supplementary content? This could make the course more accessible to students from countries with less comprehensive educational systems.
