I'm sorry for spamming this list with something that's a bit off topic, but my involvement with OSM has me interested in GIS generally, and learning the algorithms that I can use to do analysis of the data- everything from simple functions like calculating the bounding box for an area and a radius, to knowing if (and where) two polygons intersect, to more complex questions I don't know enough to ask about yet.
So where does someone like me begin? Is there a good book I can read? A video course online? I realize that many universities offer a GIS class, but I'm wondering if this is something that can be relatively self-taught?
