Hi, I have been trying to Learn to work hands-on on Machine learning/AI algorithms(for about 4-5 years). But somehow, have stopped with reading and understanding the algorithms in the text books/blogs and stop there. Recently came across Fractals and love them. Got a Fractal Geometry(Kenneth Falconer, thanks to library.nu) book but i seem to have lost the ability to learn from books(too much interaction addictivity).…
Sadly not in my field, but good luck!
To help with book learning, try adding interactivity back in, e.g. by writing a short blog post on each small topic you want to learn. This will switch on the bits of your brain that like getting stuff done, and also challenge you to understand things more fully; having to explain something to someone else really points out what you didn't know that you don't know.
I'm building a simple Android 2D game on my free time which involves some maths (ball bouncing, colliding algorithms, ..), what I would really like is some refresh of Linear Algebra (Vectors, Projections, ...) and Physics that I may easily apply to the game itself. How may I contact you? I can't see any contact details on your profile.

Colin, don't let the down-votes get you down... if you pardon the pun. Some people mistakenly think clickables are just karma whoring because they don't realize it is (intentionally) impossible to put clickable links into a submission. Additionally, they're also probably not thinking beyond their own use-case, where the (intentional) annoyance of copy-paste is painful on mobiles.
tl;dr - thank you. It's just that there are days when I get depressed by the fact that so many people on the 'net and using sites like HN have a sense of entitlement - insisting that they really understand everything and that - God Damn It - they'll impose their own way of working and thinking and voting, without taking the time to become enculturated. At least, that's how it feels. I just need to take another break.…
... a specialist is someone who knows more and more about
less and less until eventually they know everything about
nothing, whereas as generalist is someone who knows less
and less about more and more until eventually they know
nothing about everything.
