Day 16-20 / 365 Haven't posted in awhile since it's finals week. I did another book study for #SICP and learned about the Y-Combinator and I successfully completed the Berkeley assignment using it. I created a recursive factorial function using lambdas only.

Day 15 / 365 Complete an exercise in #Exercism using Scheme! And learned some math from #Mathacademy Oh! I also transitioned to Doom Emacs. I'm hoping to slowly create a good workflow. Perhaps I'll incorporate GTD and Zettelkasten with Org-org

I think It's time I move away from DrRacket and start learning (Doom) Emacs. Also, bye bye Neovim, hopefully I won't come crying to you again

Day 13-14 / 365 More progress with #SICP! I've completed the labs and homework (kinda) for week 2 but I'm stuck on this exercise that wants me to implement recursion using lambda functions. I think I can approach this problem using a Y Combinator but I'm not entirely sure how Lambda Calculus works

Day 12 / 365 Today was spenting doing #MathAcademy and reading some pages in #SICP! There was a crap ton of review stuff I had to do since I missed so many days. I just can't wait for this semester to be done so I can focus on my projects.

Day 11 / 365 Today was my book club event for #SICP, I met some incredible people today and I'm really excited to continue this endeavor. Slowly working my way up with #MathAcademy again, I have no idea why I burnt out so quickly lol, but I'm picking it up again!

Day 10 / 365 Late post! But I think recursion is finally starting to click for me. It's still very hard to think through a problem utilizing recursion because my brain just wants to default to using a for-loop all the time. But I have to say, recursion is beautiful.

Day 9 / 365 Made some progress with #MathAcademy and #SICP!

Day 8 / 365 Haven't been doing #MathAcademy lately since I'm been pouring my time in #SICP But I did get a lot of Homework problems done. I only got 2 more questions, and some easy labs for week 1. I'm definitely gonna grind some #MathAcademy tomorrow.

My girlfriend and I started our own indoor garden. We got some arugula, spinach, and cilantro. We're hoping to just get some plants sprouting and learning from there. I wished we had a patio to this stuff but we'll make it work :)

Day 7 / 365 I did some #MathAcademy today! Took some time to learn more about Logarithms. I even experimented with Desmos and graphed a logarithmic function. And so, I finally connect the dots between an exponential and logarithmic function and how it comes into play with Big O notation.

Day 6 / 365 More #SICP! I wrote some beautiful code today using Scheme (DrRacket). I was tasked with a simple exercise of squaring each number in a list and here's how I did it:

Day 5 / 365 I mostly focused on #sicp today. I learned about combinations, compound procedures, order evaluation, and special forms. There are a few issues though, I believe the word choices used in the book causes a lot of confusion for such simple concepts...

Day 4 / 365 Reached 10% for #MathAcademy MFII, super excited to just be moving the needle forward. Other than that, I've been studying away for my exam tomorrow for Computer Architecture. College sure does take a huge chunk of my time.

Day 3 / 365 I didn't get a lot of XP today for #MathAcademy since I was busy with school work. My school work was focused on coding in Assembly using AVR. I was tasked with simply filling an array by utilizing pointers via the Z register and incrementing it. Pretty simple stuff.

Day 2 / 365 Another day of #MathAcademy! Learned about factorials, perfect sqares, logs stuff, radians, permutations, and a lot more. I'm still a little fuzzy on some topics but I'll understand with time. #Sicp on the other hand is confusing so I'm going to take my time. That's today's update!

I got a Discord group together for #SICP! We're meeting every week to discuss about the problems we've encountered and clearing up any confusion. I'm excited to put my math knowledge to the test when going over the book as I heard that some of the math exercises are rigorous.

Day 1 / 365 I've made some progress with #MathAcademy! Learned about limits, Quadratics, logarithms, and so much more. Completed lecture 1 of Brian Harvey’s 61A. I think reading through #SICP will be invaluable. Perhaps, I'll create a Discord server for group study. That all for today's update.

Nobody can stop me #MathAcademy

Any MathAcademy folks around?

Never learned Calculus in School but today was my first time learning about limits using #MathAcademy.

Finally made it to Math Foundations 2

Starting today, this platform will showcase my journey of becoming a great programmer and mathematician. I'll be using various resources like teachyourselfcs.com, mathacademy.com, and so much more. It's going to be hard balancing college but I think It'll all work out in the end. Can't wait :^)

I've been hacking away on my intel 8080 emulator for quite some time. It currently has a debugger (which still needs some work) and... no graphic output. #c++ #programming #imgui #emulator
