I find Julia code quite beautiful for books in this domain. It&#x27;s readable, elegant, concise, expressive, and efficient at the same time. A great language for science.

It would be nice to have a reflowable non-PDF version.

This is very timely for my grad school work in computational music and algorithmic composition. Does anyone more experienced in this field know if this is an appropriate book for a newb, or if not, what a better intro would be?<p>thanks!

I wish there was a colophon or something with information about everything that was used do produce the book and website from a graphics and design perspective.

I guess I&#x27;m the foolish one, but I thought the title implied that the book was about algorithms you can use to make decisions, not decision making algorithms.<p>If the former sounds interesting, here is a similar book I read a long time ago: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Algorithms-Live-Computer-Science-Decisions&#x2F;dp&#x2F;1627790365" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Algorithms-Live-Computer-Science-Deci...</a>
