Hi list. My name is Chandra Patel. I'm a thirteen year old who has been
following transhumanism and all its related subjects for a few months now.
I'm trying to do this whole polymath thing since I think I have a fairly
good head start. On the physics side I'm starting with Feynman's lecture
series. If anyone has any recommendations for good introductions to
relativity, quantum mechanics, and other topics please let me know. The one
problem I've noticed with the Feynman books is there are no problems to work
through, its all lecture material. I'm looking for good textbooks on
physics topics. I'm hoping people here might have a good idea where I might
find such books. I've got a basic understanding of Calculus if that helps in
making recommendations.
I'm also interested in sharpening my programming skills which have been
isolated mainly to BASIC and QBASIC at this point. What computer languages
are best for beginning my trek toward Coding Deity status? There seem to be
lots of options and my teachers and friends have no ideas about where to
start.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Chandra
