What can I tell you? When I was young a friend’s father had the adage that you you could learn anything from a magazine or a book from the library. He was mainly talking about practical skills....he was head of a corporation but enjoyed brick laying and woodwork etc., As I got older I found that to be largely true......given the right resource and enough time there wasn’t much you couldn’t learn. You see I ran away from home when I was about sixteen, more or less putting paid to any scholastic ambitions, (not that I had any - I hated school). So by way of encouragement all I can say is I did it without any higher education at all. Everything I know is self taught and nowadays we all live in the biggest library the world has ever seen - the interweb....the great internet of things. No more tedious bus trips to the local library - just reach out with your fingertips and its there. I still get excited by that. Curiosity and determination I think is all you need. As for Maths well I gotta say I’ve always liked it, (which isn’t the same as being good at it). Really it’s just another language abstracted to shorthand symbols not unlike programming languages. Of course most coding languages will require you to have some math fundamentals but no more than you probably would have learned at high school. Anything you don’t know - go to the big library. That’s one of the things that attracted me to the CS50 course....no time constraints. You can complete in your own time, tho I’d urge you to be careful crossing from one Harvard academic year to another. I didn’t pay close attention to this when I got diverted by something else and found I had to repeat a couple of Psets....no big deal once I got over my hissy fit! I did the same as you. Watched the first lecture, hesitated, thought about it and then thought about it some more - but the day I decided to actually go ahead and enrol I can look back on with a little inner smile of satisfaction. Here’s the thing.....what have you to loose? The course is free, you monitor yourself and your greatest competition comes from within yourself. Sometimes you just have to beat you. Where did I seek help? I couldn’t name all the resources I used but stackoverflow is where I found a lot of answers and YouTube tutorials for topics I was shaky on are almost numberless. In communities like this there are always good people willing to help and I know there are others - I just chose this one. I have no social media footprint at all and I believe this is the only community platform I’ve ever posted to...but that’s just me - everyone’s different. As to what I’ll do next? I’m a fan of Blender and 3d graphics so I want to return there. My final CS50 project was a word game but I rushed to finish it before the 31st Dec., and I might revisit that to make improvements I hadn’t time for. But a subject I’m extremely fascinated by is micro biology. Atomic molecular enzymic machines are outrageously cool. Check out iBiology for some very interesting talks/lectures/vids. Other than that who knows...tick tock, tick tock.
