Daniel Lakeland on Nostr: So, the result of my kid having to deal with all this Linear Algebra and programming ...
So, the result of my kid having to deal with all this Linear Algebra and programming and slop coding, is not that he wants to run screaming from tech... it's that he wants to actually learn to program somewhat.
I have 2 python and 1 julia books as ebooks from no starch press for him (part of Humble Bundles). But it might also be fun for him to have some mathy sciency projects to do.
Please suggest interesting projects!
