There's more than one way to learn something. Excellent explanations (with diagrams) of math and programming concepts.

What a fantastic concept for a site! And not just the concept: the content is exceptional! Here's a sample: Rewriting a number into primes is called prime decomposition, math speak for "find the factors". Primes seem simple, right? Well, not really. It turns out that * Primes are infinite and we'll never run out (see proof). * Primes appear randomly distributed * Primes show up in strange places, like quantum mechanics * Prime decomposition is hard. So far, trial-and-error is the best way to break a number into primes. And that's slow. God, nature, or the flying spaghetti monster -- whatever determined the primes, it made a whole lot of 'em and distributed them in a quirky way. Read the article Dude, they just won me over on how interesting this stuff is - and then they threw in the reference to Pastafarianism! This is my kinda site!!

Most of my school life, I have been taught by unimaginative teachers who did nothing more than implant a distaste for many subjects. It took me a long time to get over those dislikes, and to see that some subjects (that I thought were completely drab, as a child) were actually much more fascinating than most thrillers. This site attempts to explain known concepts in a better way - it makes a good effort at showing the implications of certain concepts, to make it real instead of some weird theory that you have to learn by rote. Check it out - there is no pleasure like suddenly discovering a new meaning to something that one has known all along.
