First off, let me say that your comments on the CB have not seemed stupid to me. Most "success" in public schools is due to an ability to kiss @ss and frog jump, as opposed to developing true intelligence and grasping connections.
Donald Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" series is good. Any book on "discrete mathematics" will give you computer-oriented mathematics. Beyond that, I wouldn't look for any one book to give you everything, because math (like Perl) goes in many different directions. What I will say, is, "enjoy the ride!" Mathematics is one of the most powerful tools mankind has ever developed. You won't find everything in one place, though. Kirchoff's equations and digital signal processing are too far apart for any one book to give it all to you in an evening. Just trust your mind to build associations as you journey up the spiral of learning, and let it take you where it will. Basic logic and your intuitive sense will help you grasp every problem as it comes along, and everything else is just the syntax of a given representation of a concept or situation. (Again, like Perl!) In reply to Re: What should I read?
