Paul Graham states that not thinking of startup ideas leads to good ideas. Whereby, one develops a way of thinking of ideas unconsciously. Thus, the idea of working on side project…

Thank you for the response. Would reading Calculus to Epps then to some linear algebra & algorithms be most appropriate in a linear progression? Or would I be able to read some boo…

Do you have a math reading list for an aspiring self-taught software engineer (assume I have no math background -- took calculus many years ago)? I was thinking of going from study…

I should have mentioned that in my post. I have a dual-core i7 model.

I'm interested in taking a Udacity course, but the technology course requirements state that the operating system for Macs should be OS X 10.11 and higher. I was always content wit…
