How to read algorithms and math notation in scientific papers?
Hi! I'm a CS outsider, I write code but I'm not literated in computer science. I need to learn how to read both pseudo algorithms in papers and all the letter soup in math formulas, in the machine learning space. I had formal calculus and linear algebra in college, but that was 15 years ago.
Any tips are appreciated!
Thanks

Pseudocode is supposed to be easily readable by humans or why else is somebody going to publish a code which does not even compile?
Math formulas are different because they are supposed to be perfectly working and understanding them requires an understanding of a corresponding math discipline.
