Skill set: mathematics = level 0
I suck at math and I intend to do something about it! That’s why I bought this book (Concrete Mathematics) that’s supposedly for computer science students. As I wanted to make the most out of summer break (from school), I started reading this book.
Chapter 1 had some really interesting concepts but sometimes some of its discussions were really really hard to follow. I especially liked the solutions to the Tower of Hanoi problem and the Lines in the plane problem. They were amazing and easy to follow. The solution to the Josephus problem, however, still eludes me:P
Anyway, wish me luck. I hope I can study as much as I can this summer break. I really want to improve the theoretical-computer-science aspect of my programmer’s skill set for which mathematics is an essential part.
(To all mathematicians out there: kudos to you!)
