You want to learn more math? More about algorithms? Worst. I have literal head-ache half-way writing a simple algorithm. My brain won't get me far enough. I got back at algebra exo, which some help, to go past some blockade. then I'll go further and further, since I always loved math. I have help in a talented friend, and good books. I am, making progress, fortunately. At some point I'll use your books, or whatever seems useful. > Knuth's TAOCP series, though it is considered old fashioned these days. It has lots of good exercises. Got it. I love "old fashioned" in math, always better.
