The site appears to be struggling, but you can view the Coding Math videos on YouTube [1].

These are really useful. Whether we like it or not, mathematics underpins most of computer science and often beginners don't even know what to search for to get started. A resource like this is an excellent way to get somebody going.

If the site had a page where they listed all of the videos in order, instead of having to go thru pages of (I'm assuming) Wordpress entries, it wouldn't be struggling.

Not that it's not a great idea, just a poor implementation of an "index".

It appears that this should be "Coding Math for Games and Graphics". I work in the actuarial space and the math I work with is quite a bit different.

You can encourage Keith to make more videos here

He's helped me immeasurably through the years. I really liked his Sine wave stuff early on in that series.

Were you really expecting a coverage of mathematics broad enough to include actuarial science? I agree there seems to be a large number of topics useful for graphics programming, but of course the site can't hope to cover every application of mathematics.
