| Give him this book, it's pre-University, from the Algebra basics to Calculus.
https://biblioteca.empresainteligente.com/resources/bibliote... It's in Spanish, proof based, but not as hard as Spivak. If he is good at programming he must be good at logic and thus if he understands Math as something to apply rules, he we will ace the book. He can use Maxima to locally solve the equations. Forget LLM's, these will just make him dumber. Maxima to test the solutions, pen and paper: https://maxima.sourceforge.io/ Docs in Spanish
https://maxima.sourceforge.io/docs/manual/es/maxima.html More books, "Primeros Pasos" it's a good one to start with
and then just use the Maxima manual as the reference: https://maxima.sourceforge.io/es/documentation.html The Windows version comes with everything in the installer.
Linux distros have it in its repos, install "wxmaxima" and "maxima-doc"
for documentation. It's weights very little, less than 100MB. Install Gnuplot too for plots/charts/graphs (altough it might come preinstalled for Windows). And a Math background, even a basic one will be extremeley helpful while coding. Most schools in Spain thaught us Math as methods to blindly apply formulae based on rote memorization and everyone was just clueless. |
Common in many countries. Its a problem in the UK and getting worse.
