So let’s say this is wildly over my head… what would be some good places to start reading to gain a minimal foundation to engage with this?

- ArcHound 5mo agoSimply put, you'll need algebra, linear algebra, number theory. So a lot of math with various degrees of depth.
- allthetime 5mo agoDo you have any recommendations for effective self-learning paths? I have murky old foundations in all three fields (took first year linear algebra and a variety of logic courses) so am not starting from nothing but the few times I’ve tried to jump back in I always get a bit bogged down and can’t keep with it.
- notfed 5mo agoGilbert Strang has an excellent free (IIRC) linear algebra course, accompanied by his excellent textbook. Kahn Academy has some surprisingly good linear algebra lectures as well, if something isn't clicking.
