| Posted: 30 Jun 2018 07:54 PM PDT It may sound bold but I want to self-teach math to a moderately high level, and I want to learn to code as well. I know that coding can really help you learn math, and working all those math problems would probably be a great way to practice coding, so I figure it would be good to learn these things in parallel. I have moderate education in math. Nothing substantial, just high school math up to algebra 2/trig (I flunked precalc mostly because of laziness but perhaps in part because there were holes in my foundation), and college level stats. I want to start over and build a foundation, so I'd like to start with a coding language that lends itself well to basic problems and algebra first, and then maybe something else (or something that does both?) when I get into higher level math. I also want to get a very strong foundation in stats because I plan to be a research professor. I've done my own research and found some suggestions, but I'm still unsure of the best course of action for my particular needs. Can anyone help? Also, if it makes any difference, I plan to do research in psychology and neuroscience. I may go into psychiatric epidemiology in some form. I wouldn't even be opposed to going heavily into computational neuroscience (I may minor in it) as far as things like machine learning, brain-interface or mapping the brain. Maybe I could learn a language that would also lend itself well to some of these things when I get there? I'm sure those computational neuroscience applications probably vary wildly in their type of programming, but I just thought I'd throw it out there. And I simply want to learn math for its inherent value to thinking and seeing the world. Edit: For clarification, I'm not suggesting coding or computer science involves learning a lot of math. Really what I'm saying is that programming skills can act almost as a study tool for learning math subjects and ideas. A lot of advisors suggest math students learn to program as well. I'm not really sure how this process works to be honest, because I know little about coding, but apparently it helps with visualizing problems and grasping the ideas behind them. [link] [comments]  |
