Hi everyone! I've recently realized that my math skills are really holding me back in my learning, especially during my DSA course. There are certain algorithms and equations that I struggle to get because I don't fully understand how they were derived. For instance, I found it confusing how Taylor series can be simplified from O(n²) to O(n) using Horner's rule. I'm hoping to find some courses or resources that focus on math concepts specifically tailored for programming. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Khan Academy is a fantastic resource! They have a wide range of math courses, and you can definitely find material that's relevant to computer science. For example, they cover calculus concepts that are often used in algorithm development. Just check their curriculum to see where they start with the math that's applicable to programming.
Khan's awesome, but do you know which specific topics in their curriculum focus on math for CS? There are so many choices, and it's hard to know where to start.
