Paul Orland is a programmer, software entrepreneur, and math enthusiast. He is the co-founder of Tachyus, a startup building predictive analytics software for the energy industry, combining mathematical modeling with practical software products for industrial use.

He is also the author of Math for Programmers, published by Manning. The book teaches working programmers the math they actually need, from vectors and calculus to gradients and optimization, through hands-on Python examples such as physics simulations, and it reflects his interest in helping engineers in data science, quantitative finance, and other math-heavy fields build solid foundations. He has said that the book grew out of a deliberate choice to make advanced topics accessible to a broad audience rather than only specialists.
