Yeah, it's possible, If that's the case can you recommend any top notch books for absolute beginners?
yeah, I think it's the major reason for her fearing this field
While this is true, it seems as though Matlab is the tool used for her work at her laboratory, she needs to join an already going project.
What would be the closet thing to Matlab she could learn in codehs? (Similar syntax similar core concepts)
Do you have any plans of adding Matlab anytime soon?
Do you teach Matlab specifically? This can be an excellent B'day gift.

Hi all,This is a question for anyone here who started programming at a late age, after coming to it from a different field.My girlfriend (who's 25 +-) has finished her doctorat in medicine and is now starting her PHD. As part of her research she needs to learn how to program in Matlab as well as quite extensive mathematics (as she needs to perform a lot of analytics on research she...
what's the name of the program?
Very impressive, however I fear that he doesn't cover specifically the issue of learning by heart theorems.

Hi,I studying computer science, taking a few courses of basic mathematics (Linear Algebra and Calculus II).Our exams require us to mostly cite well known proofs, like the Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem etc.
Altogether there are close to 50 such proofs to memorize.Regardless of my understanding of the material, most of the students memorize these proofs, as there are very difficult, non trivial and...

Following ScotterC thread about what makes one a good programmer (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4759510) it got me thinking.I am a starting programer, programming mostly for iPhone and Web. When I work as a freelance with customers they'd say I'm the best. When I work with fellow programmers on the other hand they'd say I am the worse.Trying to get better, It would be great if you could...
I'm sorry but I can't see how this is applicable for my situation. What kind of studies are you talking about? University (First degree)? Second degree ? High School? I've just started my first year of computer science and mathematics. I study all day long and still don't find time for anything else. Also, try adding a girlfriend or a spouse to the equation. With all the positive sides of it, it adds a lot of distractions during the day that you can't control.
Great Idea! I could send photos this way to my parents. good job!

If so how was the experience? How long did it take to implement the recurring payment module?

I am not sure she's more motivated than I. Perhaps she got better abilities to focus on tasks. She's truly an exceptional person with an exceptional range of abilities.
at times I do get intimidated
heh, thanks for the grammar corrections. I fear I am not a native English speaker though. In my mother tongue I write better (I so as hell hope so anyways).
I don't have a problem working with people who are smarter than me. I work with them quite often actually. The problem is when it comes to an intimate relationship. I actually do not think we are on the same level. I think that my level is quite alright, but she very much tops it.
this is genius. Do you a link to the article perhaps?
That's a cute idea actually. I just hope she won't comment about my looks. I really hope there's something else there :)
She's capable of studying any new topic much faster than I. Even topic that she has no experience in and I have been working on for several years. She's doing an MD in Medicine and a bsc in computer science simultaneously. She's also a Marathon runner and a quite successful artist.
It feels threatening knowing that your partner is always right, and thereby when you argue makes you always (mostly) wrong.
It also feels threatening knowing that she's capable of doing whatever it is you're doing just better.
Well I don't think that any of us is very dominant. We don't have dominant personalities either.
I do know that when we debate she's very dominant as she always seems to better know or understand the issue than me.
I appreciate this wake up call. I don't think I have problems accepting criticism and I think I deserve it here.
no, it wouldn't.
I don't feel it's a problem now, as I feel enough self value in what I am doing. I fear it might evolve into a problem if at some point along the road I won't feel that satisfaction in whatever it is I am doing

While I am aware this is not a real hackish or technological question to ask, I gather it's still the right place.
As I guess that most of hacker news readers are used to be the smartest guys around.I started dating a truly exceptional girl. She's the smartest person I've ever met.
I am looking for some advice:Have you ever dated a girl that was much smarter than you?
How did it effect you \...
Good points. I am not a native English speaker myself. I am afraid that I will be too upfront. Can you think of any terms or phrases I can use here?
