Re:Ask HN: How do I learn math/physics in my thirties? on Thursday May 17, 2018 @12:37AM (#17088762)
You might also find https://physicstravelguide.com/ useful. It's an expository wiki that sorts physics and related math explanations/books etc. by the required level of sophistication.

This means, especially as a beginner when you are stuck you can easily find an explanation that you can understand.

I would recommend that you start with physics and only learn math on a "just-in-time learning" basis. Mathematics is infinitely large and it's too easy to get lost. Physics, in comparison, is relatively constrained. When you learn the basics of modern physics you will automatically get a good understanding of lots of important math topics plus you will always automatically know why they are important.

Too many users tried to connect simultaneously since it is now on the front page. It now works again, but possible will crash again soon. If you get an error, just try again in a few minutes or tommorow
Re:Ask HN: What is your side project for 2018? on Thursday December 21, 2017 @05:17AM (#15977715)
I've two side projects that I plan on working on in 2018:

- A "Travel Guide" for Physics, which collects the best explanations for any physics topic and sorts them depending on the required level of sophistication: https://physicstravelguide.com/

- A platform, where students and researchers can publish their notes: https://physicsnotes.org/
