This is pretty cool. As a self-taught developer with a non-CS major, my math limited out at college algebra 2. I recently did Brilliant.org calculus just to try to make better sense of various CS papers, and I thought at the time I could probably understand some of the concepts in code better than standard mathematics notation. Something like this definitely helps me understand the math symbols better. I could see taking it to the next level and adding other languages and symbols.

How is Brilliant? I see it plugged in Sabine's videos and I'm really curious on brushing up my math and physics.

It’s ok for what it is. I learned some and enjoyed, but eventually cancelled for various reasons. Math Academy is good if you want a serious course (they are accredited and offer a transcript). Khan academy is good if you just want some online courses.
