Thanks a lot for the suggestion and resource. My parents have a problem with security at a camp they're building so I figure it may be a good fit.

I turned 24 years old yesterday. Unknowing of what I wanted as gifts I asked my family to give me money and I would spend it towards something I wanted when I figured it out. So, instead of hitting up the local strip club, I want to put it towards something a little more lasting. I'm a sucker for new technology and new information in general. Let's say I got a couple hundred bucks for my...

Re:Ask HN: What books would you give a 16-year old interested in Math? on Tuesday December 27, 2011 @08:07PM (#3398173)

How about an e-reader and an account at library.nu, have him check out http://www.khanacademy.org/ and http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm too.
