My new years resolution is to stop wasting time, and do something useful with it. Aside from studying properly and leaving /b/ for good, I am hoping to delve further into maths, physics and computer programming (all subjects that I am taking), as an aside to my studying for school.

Bearing in mind that I am 17, does anyone want to point me in a good direction?

My maths is probably a little lacking, my physics course is enough to put anyone off the subject - and computing is my passion.

Pic unrelated.

You probably haven't had a math course yet. An introductory book on real analysis is usually a good start, but if you're exclusively self-educating yourself with it it may become a little boring after a while. (Depends on your personality of course.)
>my physics course is enough to put anyone off the subject
I don't know any good English "nice introduction to physics" books, you better ask Anon about that. (I like Gerthsen, but it's only available in German.)

You are right, /sci/ is not a suitable place for an interested 17 year old asking for honest advice, everyone should contact the mods if they suspect a man, who could be married with children is asking for help on a board which focuses on math and science.

Someone attacks me in a back allay with a knife. I pick up a stool bar that's lying there and hit the guy on the head. He falls inconscious. I hit him again because I don't want to take the chance he might get up and stab me, and because of the adrenaline in my blood. I kill him and - oh shit - it was no more self defense.
On my trial, I relate the facts exactly as they happened. Guess what? There will still be a debate about what rules I broke if any. But the facts are known.
And that was just a bad exemple out of my ass.
