New Years Eve and Math Vacation

Advent of Code has made me realize that while I possibly actually am an okay programmer, that lack of official Computer Science training… oof.

Spent a “relaxing” week watching some of the videos for Mathematics of Computer Science on MIT Open CourseWare. It’s not a vacation FROM math. It’s a vacation TO math!

There are two versions from different years with differing styles and slightly different order but they make for a nice compliment to each other:

• https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-042j-mathematics-for-computer-science-fall-2010/
• https://openlearninglibrary.mit.edu/courses/course-v1:OCW+6.042J+2T2019/course/

Notes to self

• Do read the recitation notes
• Do cross reference with content on other channels (This class is about PROOFS of things, not the things)
• No, you cannot do a 12 weeks of advanced math you’ve not done before class in 12 days. Nice thought though.
