The books are simply fantastic and are primarily what I use for the accelerated math class I teach. They’re short and inexpensive, but are surprisingly comprehensive and contain lots of good problems (make sure you do them!). You can always refer to Khan Academy videos or sites like Math Is Fun (https://www.mathsisfun.com/) if you require additional explanation, but my guess is that you generally won’t. Assuming you remember fraction arithmetic and order of operations stuff and can start with algebra, I would estimate that with about 5 hours per week of study, you could probably complete everything up through calculus in roughly 6-9 months. Anyway, if you do decide to pursue this, please keep us posted on your progress!

I’d like to increase my maths knowledge but I’m not entirely sure where to start looking/

If any listener wants to mess around with algo trading and needs bitcoin market data for training/backtesting please let me know. I will give free access to the data to anyone who mentions TechZing 😉

@Edwin Thanks, I just set it up.

Add #Katch to your Meerkat video description tweet and the service will record and upload the live stream to YouTube.
A nice implementation.

It would be fun to try to get a lot of people on the stream. It really seems to inject some energy into the show.

I’m looking forward to hearing about Justin’s secret project.

I wanted to see the show, but it was so short notice
