Comments on: Math http://archlinux.me/adamrehard/2012/05/04/math/ Just another Arch Linux Blog site Sun, 17 Jun 2012 05:17:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: plitter http://archlinux.me/adamrehard/2012/05/04/math/#comment-63 plitter Sun, 17 Jun 2012 05:17:31 +0000 http://archlinux.me/adamrehard/?p=12#comment-63 Khan Academy has math videos out from pre-school level to functions of more variables. The videos are just explaining things at their most simple levels and there are also assignments for videos (at least for the younger levels, haven’t checked the other ones). Also Pauls online math notes are really interesting and very good. MIT and Stanford has online videos of lectures, so there is lots of good learning materials out there (a bit less with assignments and such). Good luck and if you find something else it would be cool if you let me know! (especially assignments and such)

Ohh, almost forgot openstudy. A place where you can ask your math questions and they have support for latex!! So you won’t have to see that much of o^232_1 or integer^1_k …

The idea is that the tools sysadmins use daily need to be more tweaked than anything, and most tools nowadays you see are being written in Ruby. Puppet & Foreman, along with MCollective, are very powerful and all 3 are written in Ruby.

That’s not to say there isn’t value in learning other languages, but grasping the basics will get you far in this new fad. (Though I’m drinking it’s kool-aid pretty hard as well. It doesn’t hurt that I like Ruby anyways. :-P )

Sorry that wasn’t clear. :) I’m looking at C becuase I don’t actually know OOP yet, and would rather build on what I know, and then learn the new stuff, if that makes sense.

I find it a nice way to learn a new programming language. Also, you’ll sharpen your math skills in computer-oriented tasks.

I did not advanced in learning this language yet, but i think its very interesting
It was made by Rob Pike (he was a member of the Unix team)
