Mathematics of LLMs Made Simple: Algorithms That Power LLMs, Explained in Everyday Language (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789199156910)

This is an essential guide of the mathematics, algorithms, and trade-offs behind large language models, all explained in everyday language for everyone. Learn how LLMs truly work, behind the scene

This is for everyone, irrespective of whether you have background in computers or not. You will see how LLMs turn text into tokens, tokens into probabilities, and probabilities into coherent language.

The book covers information theory, entropy, n-gram models, Byte Pair Encoding, embeddings, transformers, fine-tuning, and inference. It explains why scale improves performance, why overfitting wrecks reliability, how memory extends context, and how multimodal systems connect words with images, audio, and video.

It also goes inside the research lab: data pipelines, compute infrastructure, failed experiments, ethical risks, and the human labor required to make these systems work at all.
