A Good Year for "A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics"
Creators
A year ago today I self-published "A Programmer's Introduction to Mathematics" (PIM). In this short note I want to describe the success it's had, summarize the complaints of some readers and the praise of others, and outline what's next. Since publication PIM has sold over 11,000 copies. A rough chart showing the sales of paperback and ebook copies of PIM. Here's a table: Month Paperback Ebook Total 2018-12 4,323 1,866 6,189 2019-01 1,418 258 1,676 2019-02 852 128 980 2019-03 762 107 869 2019-04 357 63 420 2019-05 289 51 340 2019-06 200 58 258 2019-07 223 40 263 2019-08 158 43 201 2019-09 159 24 183 2019-10 155 44 199 As expected, the sales dropped significantly after the first month, but leveled out at around 200 copies per month.
