I wasn't planning to post today, but a family member who just started studying applied mathematics, asked me for some material to check out, and recommended 'A First Course in Monte Carlo Methods' by Sanz-Alonso and Al-Ghattas, a fantastic primer in 150 pages, available on arXiv.
Engineers, computer scientists and applied mathematicians will enjoy this one, I am sure.

IN A 1997 KEYNOTE A DEVELOPER TOLD A ROOM FULL OF PROGRAMMERS THAT THE COMPUTER REVOLUTION HAD NOT ACTUALLY HAPPENED YET. THEN HE PLAYED A CLIP OF WINDOWS, ICONS AND LIVE EDITING RUNNING ON A MACHINE FROM 1973 AND THE ROOM WENT QUIET.
62 minutes from Alan Kay -- the man who invented the word "object-oriented" and helped build the first modern personal computer at Xerox PARC.
-> The idea that lands: almost everything you call "computing" is just paper, digitized. Documents, mail, folders. We took the most powerful medium ever made and used it to imitate the office.
The real machine -- the one that thinks with you, that you shape live instead of typing at -- was sketched in the 60s and 70s, then quietly abandoned.
He calls modern software an Egyptian pyramid: millions of bricks stacked by brute force, no structure underneath.
And now AI is quietly hauling us back toward what he wanted -- you describe intent, the machine builds the how. Not a revolution from nowhere. A return to a dream we walked away from.
You thought this was the future. This is the talk that shows you it is a detour we have been on for 40 years.
Save this. It reframes the whole industry ↓
