Parallel and Distributed Computation: Numerical Methods
- profquail 17y agoGreat link! I did my undergrad degree(s) in Math and Physics, with my concentration in optimization. Numerical analysis is a bit of a dry subject, but I think it's super important for programmers to learn, and it's not something that's mentioned very often. For those readers of HN who don't know what numerical analysis is, it essential deals with mathematical algorithms, and how to deal with the errors introduced by using floating-point numbers.
