Where can I go to learn science & math?
I don't like books as much, but I love lectures and videos.

>> No.7028179

Khan Academy

Khan Academy is kind of good, you can also try MIT open courseware, Coursera, download Feynman lectures, 3 books

Okay so, where should I go to learn Python & C++?
Youtube?
As a beginner, is it a good idea for me to just go and learn Python first then C++?

In reality, as you progress through your math/science education, there is no way around learning through textbooks.

>> No.7031361

>>7031340
you can probably learn them in either order.
I'd suggest python before c++, but others will suggest the other way.

The websites it shows don't really get in depth or have video.

>> No.7031371

>>7031369
Excuse me, they DO have video but the videos also don't go indepth or don't give prior knowledge.

>> No.7031374

>>7031371
to get depth in code, you google what you want to do.
both python and c/c++ have great communities that'll tell you exactly how to do the thing

>> No.7031377

>>7031374
Makes sense. How long do you think it might take me?

>> No.7031412

>>7031377
I've been doing it for the past 7 years and I still google on every project.
Once you get the basics, coding is very learn as you go.


Of course you could always take more general cs classes. Classes on algorithms or AI or w/e.
Are you looking for that? They aren't really language specific.

lf you want to use programming as a tool to achieve other motives learn Python. lf you want to learn programming per se absolutely start with C.

You must appreciate memory management and modular designs to be an effective programmer. Memory is only ever our only resource. Performance and scope always come down to how we use data.

Where can I (relatively) quickly learn trigonometry? I'm tired of needing to memorize identities and refer to the internet for any that I don't remember. It's the part I don't like most about the subject. I've never had it taught in any way that stresses some foundation for why you do what you do, just memorize this and do that. But whenever I forget something, in any other subject, I can just intuitively 'rediscover' how to do it. I want to be able to do this with trig beyond just using the Pythagorean theorem, so where's a good place to start?

I'll list some MOOCs:
Udacity
MIT
Coursera
edX

I would recommend Udacity for programming and coursera has a broad range of classes to learn from.

One of the reasons I didn't bother applying there is that the who campus is filled with trash and fucking niggers. They have one of the highest acceptance rates of so many diversities.
