I have been diving into these topics since few days and I have not understood anything. I tried peter shirley's textbook on Computer Graphics. Foley et al, Hearn baker etc...

It is clear to me that I lack the mathematics preriquisites for understanding this. Thus, I am deeply asking for resources that I can do to brush up. Me being a computer engineering graduate I have done math classes, it is just that I became like a calculator instead of understanding the logic behind doing the formulas and steps so need a short revision.","time":1756281421,"title":"Ask HN: What to learn for math for modeling?","type":"story"}],[44025484,{"by":"xitang","descendants":143,"id":44025484,"kids":[44028687,44027110,44028730,44026324,44026654,44030963,44026852,44028379,44027072,44048803,44028823,44030230,44030633,44030667,44027243,44030976,44032397,44028019,44028359,44030409,44052542,44032800,44028241,44026832,44026447,44034312,44030199],"score":195,"text":"$16","time":1747615114,"title":"Show HN: Job board aggregator for best paying remote SWE jobs in the U.S.","type":"story","url":"https://www.remoteswe.fyi"}],[43612448,{"by":"MITthrow123","descendants":234,"id":43612448,"kids":[43725229,43612547,43613413,43613606,43612947,43622881,43613563,43620030,43613389,43617367,43621858,43625515,43613487,43613643,43615245,43613446,43629269,43613559,43634357,43722509,43713749,43621317,43619093,43613717,43613645,43613731,43614657,43730288,43723790,43615569,43631243,43653685,43613562,43613581,43699708,43712626,43699589,43646191,43613571,43651460,43613445,43613498,43613613,43613507,43711027,43614596,43613470,43614677,43613602,43613755,43613674,43613680,43623227,43711005,43641638,43623045,43614795,43613489,43673626,43613604,43613651,43613557,43625787,43641689,43613438,43625234,43633374,43613502,43616857,43730888,43616561,43618831,43613527,43630897,43625703,43613624,43618762,43613451,43627732,43623615,43650584,43667058,43614765,43614917,43613548,43620864,43615135,43619503,43620649,43697127,43614967,43617477,43639239,43697457,43613466,43628042,43613449,43613576,43713032,43621624,43686637,43613577,43652584,43613547,43617491,43621835,43614432,43626919,43628230,43616746,43614277,43614435,43627087,43629731,43683080,43683053,43683045,43661666,43626181],"score":215,"text":"$17","time":1744038779,"title":"Ask HN: I'm an MIT senior and still unemployed – and so are most of my friends","type":"story"}],[41973744,{"by":"ranuzz","descendants":74,"id":41973744,"kids":[41974200,41974216,41974261,41974476,41974201,41974081,41974497,41974105,41974032,41974022,41974999,41974872,41974842,41974232,41974656,41975269,41974819,41977293,41974124,41974786,41974203,41980983,41979939,41975088,41983998,41974038,41974291,41974342,41973915,41973994,41985593,41974941,41998816,41985847,41994730,41974969,41978710,41974260,41974507,41987707,41974164,41974106,41976011,41983340,41979996,41974125,41977899,42002159,41974595,41990393,41974358],"score":84,"text":"I loved playing zork and torn.com is kinda text based.

I'm sole developer working in some niche industry in team with 9 engineers.

Today our CEO announced that 80% of people in our company (thousands) received pay rise(due the inflation etc.).

It is first time in 4 years that I did not get any pay rise.

Just month ago I asked(via email) for feedback from my boss and he praised my skills, ambitions and working speed.

Reason that I did not get pay rise might be that I'm not afraid to criticize some stupid ideas, and I'm very offensive when it comes to handling projects (I lead, and I work hard). So I often have some silly(very short lived) conflicts with some of the engineers.

I love my job and industry, but I often have problem with my team (non programmers) and I lack "emotional" support form my boss(no "thank you" for working in weekends for example).

My boss refuses to talk with me about it.
