Thank you, very informative on how low cost low power LED is achieved.
It seemed like magic at first but after reading your comment it is more like dark art.
I believe all the goods of Vim comes from lightness and portability. There are plenty of Vim emulators on other editors. Emacs for example are ricer's heaven.
I am not a maths major, however as I currently self-studying Mathematics, so I hope this would come as a good reference points for you.
I think we both should prepare for a long journey, cause it is the nature of maths.
I prefer formal and classic textbooks/notes as I think they are the best resources. Mathematics has been around for a long long time, keeping things up to date isn't really what should most concerns you.
[1] : Schaum's series
Really good textbooks on basic maths, helped me a lot on those maths modules during my study.
[2] : Any Massive Open Online Course of your choices.
I am currently using MIT OCW. They are basically an Undergrad Course minus interaction with lecturer. You should ask some of your maths friends to help you out. Good, intuitively explanation in person helps a lot.
[3] : And last but not least, have fun while doing it.
You can participate in maths competition, watch Youtube videos( 3Blue1brown / Numberphile) Read Magazines and Journals too, admires the Apollonian aesthetic of Mathematics.
Maths is one of the few subjects where nature > nurture, I think ( and observed). But take heart.
I think you have taken the context out of the comparison.
In terms of CPU, GPU, thermal systems, PSU... yes computing people do whip out a lot of numbers. But when buying a laptop, assembling a gig, we consider of the overall experience, more abstracts and qualitative measurements: ease of maintenance, aesthetics even.
On the other hand, car guys do get nerdy on number crunching when they tune their turbo/ exhaust system, IE: optimizing a very specific component of the system.
