guys im looking for books with the subjects Maths, architecture, programming
can someone send me links to books that tell me why maths are like they are and what programming really is and the same goes with the architecture.

Someone being salty that they can't do any math
While STEM is overrated, the T is what makes the whole thing still somewhat worthwhile.

At least where I am an everyone wants to learn to code at least, which is a move forward atleast?

lit only knows how to read prose books and then use buzzwords later on. Their idea of learning physics and maths isn't to do physics and maths problems but to read about the life of Newton, read Aristotle's works, read principia Mathematica in Latin, read philosophy that uses the word quantum and then write long meandering essays with big words that refer to vague concepts.

OP, you have to realise that "literary intellectuals" are like this.

This is the best one I've found yet.
Most importantly, type the examples, solve the exercises, write your own little shitty programs. Find out how to write clear, concise, and beautiful code. Study the masters, read good code. Use unix.

+ DPV/Kleinberg Tardos if you want intro tier stuff.

Automata shilling. Be the architect of beautiful Computation models which you mathematically verify.

I have suggestions for books about the proliferation of technology and its impacts on privacy. But I doubt that's what you're looking for.

I love math and Newtonian mechanics. I find problem solving quite therapeutic. Write now I'm at linear/differentials and mechanical dynamics.

For some reason, I just can't get into programming, though. It's a shame because that's how you become employable. Does it take severe autism to actually enjoy computer science?

>> No.10028614

>>10028609
Computer science is fun. There are tons of sites with programming challenge problems. I dunno about autism, but I like solving puzzles.

ive heard good things about "code"
also read up on osdev about writing your own kernel

but realtalk Knuth's AOCP is GOAT

Programming is fun when you're building something. Especially something that you would find useful. You need a certain amount of base knowledge before you can get to that point, though, which can be a little boring.
