Linguist asks for help

No.11983525 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Hello! I am a Linguist which is currently trying to get into a Cognitive Science Master. Because of this circumstance, I've started studying Mathematics and I'm going to do a Python course as well.
I come to this board looking for answers. Here are some of the doubts I've encountered so far in my journey:
-What is an integer linear combination.
-Polynomes: how to operate with them, what can you do with them
-What is this sin cos stuff. It is important, but I've never grasped it fully adequately.
-What are functions.
-How does induction exactly work. I know the theory but the practice is not that easy. Could you explain it to me in a way that I understood? Examples would be great.
Sources and webs where I could study this topics would help as well. I'm new to this board and it looks so good. I'm waiting for you answers, and take care.
