kandel··on A guide for people who want to self-study the basics of computer science
year 1 CS in my university is

:intro to CS (simple JAVA and simple coding) :linear algebra 1 :introduction to logic (simple set theory(though the course got comparatively deep and proved induction as well as defined relations rather throughouly. most students failed.) :Digital systems (basic digital logic)

semester 2 is: :data structures :linear algebra 2 :infitisimal math 1 :practical course on usages of math :combinatorics\basic discrete math (No generator functions or the like. Basic counting, basic graph theory, basic discrete probability)

This is for a university that has a technical approach to CS. It's not considered very mathematical, so view it as a sign that calc1/2 and linear algebra 1/2 is needed. they are fun courses! Go learn the math courses with the mathematicians if you've felt a connection to math, there is a definite change in the feelings of the class. It's the "same" material but in one class you will think like a mathematician and in the other like an engineer.

My gramps will once a while gather a bunch of stuff in the house and throw it out. He always has great fun doing it he loves it lol.

Yeah it's great. You can pack up and leave whenever. Why get tied down?

If you like manifestos the futurist manifesto is pretty cool.
