This is the type of stuff I come to HN for. This is so refreshing to see after days worth of press releases about Apple, new gadgets, and other mainstream news regurgitation.

If you want to see some crazy math stuff, look into axiom[0]. It's an open source computer algebra system programmed in Common Lisp. The manuals for the project add up to be ~10,000 pages[1]. It's all done in the literate programming style and it's being actively developed. I am probably going to write an idea up in a month or so, but if a computer programmer wants to learn some advanced Math beyond first year calculus quickly, downloading axiom and working through the first tutorial is the way to go.
