Resources
This is in line with the appeal by
@math-trail yesterday, who want to improve the math and science channel curating. Not just articles in this case, but learning resources. Thus, here, I want to point out a few sources, without overloading this.Firstly, for each subject, you find discussion and overview threads on StackExchange, even great ones for specific topics like C++ or, more appropriate for the math channel, let's say number theory. There are also reddit channels on literally everything just as well, and the PhysicsForum. Don't forget Wikipedia. And there are more specific Wikis, like proofwiki.org which contains full formal proofs of things. And I can point you basically in every direction as I'm in this game for a decade. Here's a Wiki on Group Theory in abstract algebra, which list mathematical properties in absurd detail. Here is my public notebook on math - a list of mathematical entities and their formal definitions. Hit me with anything there and I'll engage in a discussion and explanation. And the Stanford Encyclopedia on philosophy is a proper reference for many terms and concepts. There arXiv is of course the paper database where professionals post their articles. Even the 4chan /sci/ reference guide for books per STEM major is solid. Here you also find a good 4 page overview of the relevant LaTeX commands for writing math nicely.
Going further, if you google "Theoretical Computer Science Cheat Sheet", you find this gem:
http://didawiki.di.unipi.it/lib/exe/fetch.php/informatica/all-b/tcscheat.pdf
That's 10 pages with a very nice and compact collection of math relations that will get you quite far. I could wo go on and point out learning outlines like the theoretical minimum, for physics, by Susskind, but I'd just replicate the /sci/ reference. And you are aware of the MIT OpenCourseWare, right?

Okay let's stop there for a moment. In fact I might be sounding pessimistic but you can't really beat any of those external collections, or even meta-collections, with something on creating platform, because we can't edit each other posts. Truth be told, friends, I think this is misguided. What the community needs in not external references but good people who either ask good questions or answer nicely. Not people who pump out content for attention sake. As I see it, the problem here is that people get into it and build up a requirement for themselves to keep producing it. Because content is rewarded in parallel with raw entertainment media channels, Steemit is a competition of dopamine sources first and only then, hopefully, a chance to reach out to people. My afternoon delight of drawing a nice math subject diagram will bring more Steem Dollars than 10 episodes of my series on the Idris programming language, each of which takes me 2 hours to produce. And I knew that and I there's no point in complaining. It's a matter of what you want to do with yourself.Work
Beginners who want to get things done in terms of basic math and even preparation for a major may want to head over to Khan Academy and put in some work. Work!See here I open a terminal and generate the infinite list off all prime numbers in 1 line.
Good for you, bro, but I hope you rather hop on that train and get some cuts and not just lurk around.
