I'm really excited to hear about this! I always loved discrete math and logic, and ended up a compsci as a result. I was never much grabbed by pure math and calculus as a kid and escaped college with a pretty basic understanding. Sadly (or not!) as an adult I became captivated by electrical engineering, and especially AC circuits, so I was forced into a bit of an about-face: I've spent the last five years or so re-teaching myself trig, calculus, and other topics to fill in the gaps I'd left myself. I used to plug PGU to my students when I was teaching kernel programming class, and it was massively helpful to me when I began working on crash dump analysis at Red Hat twelve years ago, so although I've already made a bit of progress by myself I'm looking forward to having a read and seeing the approach you've taken. Thank you for the books! Cheers, Bryn. _______________________________________________ Pgubook-readers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pgubook-readers
