for really great intuitive videos on math.

i read that you were getting hung up on calc 2

Oooh, looks interesting!!! subbed and belled my guy

First vid Fourier Transforms, had to learn that for work a bit ago

cool cool. hes got a whole series for each subject. his visuals are all done via his own python lib

i havent had to deal with fourier transforms yet, but i will have to next spring

I almost exploded my brain trying to write a mathematical model for a surface cubic/quadric/quadratic/catmull/rom spline algorithms that model the color space relationally of the Material Design Color Palette

are those all surface smoothing algos?

I wanted to be able to interpolate between the defined colors in the material design color palette mathematically, by analyzing the color spatial data as a series of 3d mesh nets

The goal was to use it for some of the gradient type effects on my charting / data visualization library, but instead of being a gradient of color points, its a gradient of swatch sets that can vary in luminosity 0->1000 and fit to the palette while conforming to a very very smooth looking gradient set instead of choppy with linear.

And no, it was NOT worth the effort lol

thats pretty interesting. is that stuff what you often work with?

lol i was gonna say

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCgnWqoP4MM I wrote the data acquisition, industrial analytics, and intelligent manufacturing system for this project

Yeah, I mean i had no business spending like 3 weeks straight fucking around with color gradient autistic details and that absolutely nobody will notice or appreciate except me hahaha

thats impressive.

howd you get into that?

Thanks man 😃 yeah that was a fun project

And lol i dropped outta college after 2 semesters and accidentally got a job doing an $80 mil data system for a fucking nazi insane company when i was like 19

im really shocked that that didnt go absolutely horrifically lol

lol talk about the exception to the rule.

lots of amphetamine and 80 hour weeks hahaha

mostly self taught then?

lol god bless adderall

Yup only self taught, i cant learn from a classroom

Code you gotta learn by doing, and just picking a project idea and doing it and not following some stupid tutorial

for sure. i'm a CS undergrad at UC Berkeley

Oooh yeah??

yezzir

What sort of development area are you interested in?

hopefully graduating next spring

anything that will make me money

ive done some android apps for non-profits, those were fun

im not interested in web dev.

Hell yeah dude, thats awesome, yeah programming if you are good at it and enjoy it you can make quite a bit of money very quick

and UGHHH
