Worth linking to the most famous of these authors, Erik Dermaine. More or less a prototypical child genius in math / CS. MIT Professor at 20. https://en.m.wiki

Also highly recommended basically any filmed class he’s teaching on MIT OpenCourseware
- abhgh 8y agoI quite like his presentation format for his online lectures (example - [1]); 3 panels - (1) video of him explaining/board work (2) notes (3) slides, all sync-ed. When he changes topic the slide and notes panel also move forward. And I think this has been around for ~ 10 yr now.

- amelius 8y agoIs he programming? I wonder if we'd all be doing exciting stuff like this if we didn't fall into the trap of programming.
- padthai 8y agoI was not even programming at 20, let alone working as a Professor.
