Ask HN: How to get back into mathematics?

I had never heard of a Directed Acylcic Graph before. Let me read up on it and will try to do it. What you say makes sense, though.

I want to be able to take advanced CS courses and fulfil the math requirements. However, I am certain I am far from being prepared to take those math courses required to take anything above first-year CS courses.

I know this is going to sound lazy, but a quick Google search indicates it is recommended CS people know how to write proofs. So I guess the answer is yes. However, we are getting into extremely foreign territory for me.

And yes, I am in California. I don't really know how I can be of any help to you, to be honest, though.

What are the math requirements for advance CS courses? If you can find a concrete list of topics, then I can help you find the prerequisites. You will be helping me by finding topics I need on my site, and the connections between them. I'll help you by giving overviews of topics, and answering specific questions (usually with pointers to reading).
