Links
Here are some of my most visited links that I have found useful:
Purely Academic/Career:
| Website | Description |
|---|---|
| Mathispower4u | This was used for learning the material in my Calc 2 and 3 classes. Some of the videos discuss topics theoretically, and then move on to examples. |
| The Organic Chemistry Tutor | Despite its name, this YouTube channel also provides videos for physics and mathematics as well. These videos mainly contain concrete examples for each topic. |
| TrevTutor | This covers many topics in algebra and calculus levels as well as discrete mathematics and linear/matrix algebra. This YouTube channel is recommended for those learning discrete mathematics. Kimberly Brehm is also useful too. |
| Math Is Fun | One of my favorite websites, as it is designed for all ages. It covers material from beginner-level mathematics all the way to some of Calculus 2. It also covers certain material in statistics and probability, matrix algebra, and differential equations. In addition, it has [mathematical] games and other interactive stuff. The recommend games to try out are the following:
|
| freeCodeCamp | This covers various topics in computer science (and computer systems). With some exceptions, each video covers the entire course which makes them several hours long. To optimally learn the material, one should watch a given hours-long video in multiple sittings. |
| Python Tutor | This website allows you to run your Python code step-by-step. If you want to run C++ code, go here. Alternatively, use OnlineGDB for C++. |
| OpenStax | This website uses open educational resources to provide free online textbooks for us to use. Check out the math textbooks 😊 |
| LeetCode | Since April 2022, I have been using this coding platform to practice my coding skills. Although most recommend using Python, I have decided to use C++ for my practice. I have solved over 750 problems so far. |
| NeetCode | A branch of LeetCode where there are daily videos of coding problems being solved live, and used as a tool to help people prepare for technical interviews. Features include curated lists, structure learning paths, lessons, tutorials, etc. |
| cscareers | cscareers is a software engineering platform that is curated with job searching and a Discord community. |
| Amazon AWS | This cloud platform is used to host our company website to ensure HIPAA compliance. |
| Figma | Figma is a wonderful UI/UX design tool that I use for creating wireframes and prototypes of the company website, my personal website, and other projects. |
| Canva | Canva is a user-friendly graphic design tool that I use for creating graphics, presentations, and other visual content. |
Academic/Career-Adjacent:
| Website | Description |
|---|---|
| Global Math Project | This website is run by Dr. James Tanton, a mathematician. The fundamental series of topics to start with is Exploding Dots. In addition, he covers a lot of fun topics while still holding educational value. I have known about this website since I attended the MAA Weekly Math Wednesdays. |
| MindYourDecisions | This YouTube channel features challenging math problems for everyone to solve. These math problems encourage us to think critically and outside of the box. |
| Everyday Mathematics | I loved this curriculum back then, and I still love it now! This curriculum teaches mathematics, but with a twist. It emphasizes on alternative algorithms and games. It also spirals so students can gradually understand the material over time, rather than in one shot. Although it only covers material up until 6th grade, there are certain topics that can be cross-compatible with preliminary college courses. |
| Coolors | Coolors is a wonderful color palette generator that I use to supplement my UI/UX design work. |
| Font Awesome | Font Awesome features over 53,000 icons that you can easily integrate to your website as well as use them on images. With Font Awesome Pro, I used some of Font Awesome's icons (and recolored them) to easily indicate elective courses for the Spring 2024 semester. |
| Vercel | I have used this cloud platform to host this website with my a278pluspi domain (yes, literally this website). |
| Resend | An add-on to Vercel that supports sending and receiving emails. |
Purely Recreational:
| Website | Description |
|---|---|
| TETR.IO | The main game I play and practice during my free time. I really like to stack tetrominoes in an orderly fashion. When playing multiplayer (Tetra League), I can immediately see my strengths and other things I should work on. |
| Time And Date | This is not only a tool for getting the current time and date - but it has so many functionalities! I can get different current times, sunrise/sunset times in many different locations, making calendars, reading related news, etc. Time And Date is a large toolbox involving times and dates! |
| Online Stopwatch | The classic tool I have used during my childhood. It was just a timer/stopwatch with a few different skins, but that has grown to include way more functionalities than 15 years ago. Imagine that! |
