Tell HN: Comp Sci, Algebra and Calculus Resources I Like

18 pointsby _ktndover 1 year ago
Below is a list of resources that I personally like, because most of them emphasize derivations&#x2F;motivations (e.g., deriving the cross product out of 3 assumptions&#x2F;axioms) over (mechanical) memorization (e.g., just showing the mechanics of matrix multiplication&#x2F;determinants without derivations&#x2F;motivations):<p><pre><code> - Bari A., Algorithms, YouTube (playlist), https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLDN4rrl48XKpZkf03iYFl-O29szjTrs_O - Frenkel E., UC Berkeley: MATH 53 - Multivariable Calculus with Edward Frenkel, YouTube (playlist) https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLaLOVNqqD-2GcoO8CLvCbprz2J0_1uaoZ - Hower V., Linear Algebra Full Course, YouTube (playlist), https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLpcwHaLYiaEXW5fLNOlItPH4ATorKjBuc - Lockhart P., Measurement - Axler S., Linear Algebra, Springer, 2024, https:&#x2F;&#x2F;link.springer.com&#x2F;content&#x2F;pdf&#x2F;10.1007&#x2F;978-3-031-41026-0.pdf - Ström et al., Immersive Linear Algebra, https:&#x2F;&#x2F;immersivemath.com&#x2F;ila&#x2F;index.html (online book) - Margalit et al., Interactive Linear Algebra, https:&#x2F;&#x2F;textbooks.math.gatech.edu&#x2F;ila&#x2F; (online textbook) - Macdonald A., Linear and Geometric Algebra - Macdonald A., Vector and Geometric Calculus - Ramirez et al., From Vectors to Geometric Algebra, 2018, https:&#x2F;&#x2F;doi.org&#x2F;10.48550&#x2F;arXiv.1802.08153 - Hertzmann et al., Computer Graphics Lecture Notes, Computer Science Department - University Toronto, 2005, https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dgp.toronto.edu&#x2F;~hertzman&#x2F;418notes.pdf </code></pre> Further, see Sergey Trail&#x27;s &quot;Linear Algebra Done Wrong&quot; and watch Grant Sanderson, Easy Theory (theoretical CS), Jacob Sorber (operating systems), Graphics in 5 Minutes, Sam Buss (computer graphics), Dr. Daniel Page (theory of computation, data structures and algorithms), First Principles of Computer Vision on YouTube.<p>Mr. Hertzmann has some more resources (that I haven&#x27;t checked out yet):<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dgp.toronto.edu&#x2F;~hertzman&#x2F;research.html
