| > holding me back Just read the damn papers, and take notes, not because you’re going to want to review them later, because the mechanical process of writing things down burns them in. The math will come through your persistence, I’m sure you’ll try and not finish dozens of YouTube lists and online courses. Build that store of PDFs on everything math related. In the end it is merely making yourself do it that will make you that man. btw, I was mathless for much of my life. Only later (also a self student of the many other things) did I have epiphanies of math that clicked it together. A lifelong programmer, equations are like miniature procedural logic scripts or constraint definitions, one must spend the time learning every reference, and when you’ve had enough of that you will be able to “read” the math. It’s really not a large language, most people probably take years learning about sets and recursion and things that a programmer should get right away. Like base conversion. A lot of complicated looking math is really just base conversion between different metrical scales. |
