RE: Mathematics - Mathematical Analysis Partial Derivatives
Thank you for your kind words...
Programming is interesting and you can create programs/code that can do anything you wish (mostly), but because of this diversity it's difficult to find something easy to start with.
I suggest you to start with something like C.
C is an easy language which has a grammar that is used even in more advanced languages like Java for things that are common.
Start by creating something that just prints out, continue with something that takes your input, does some calculations and gives you an output (or just prints it out) and so on...
It's not so difficult to learn programming anymore!
There are many great sources and videos online :)
Thanks for your timely response. I hope you dont mind sir, because am deviating from the subject matter (derivatives) under which this comment is presented. Is it possible that i can bring myself to a level of relatively great relevance in the programming ecosystem without having any formal (classroom/college based) education in Computer Science? Cos most of the Tech guys i have met in the past always gave me the impression: I cannot be as good...
Haha no problem at all..
Learning computer science through an university will indeed help you a lot, but there are a lot of great programmers that left university or even never got to an university for the topic they are working on!
In an university you don't learn deep knowledge for each topic, but just general knowledge.
This is common for all the different scientific branches and for Computer science which is very wide and has many different topics to work on and where things change day after day very fast, this is of an even greater degree.
No-one is perfect and there always is a way of writing code better, faster, "cheaper" etc.
The thing is: You can learn if you want too.
It might take you more time to get to a level that more professionals are at now, but it's not impossible.
Wish you good luck, just start simple!
[Eureka!!!] At least there is hope for people like us... Thanks @drifter1. It was lovely making an acquaintance with you. FOLLOWING.
