Welllll, I have two thoughts on the subject. The first is that if he wants to learn electronics, as in *hardware* and how it works, he's out of luck. That takes an EE background, and that is legendary for the density and intensity of like calculus and stuff. No Way can he learn electronic theory and practice without a LOT of math that "sticks to his ribs".
But. If it's html and code and object-oriented stuff he wishes to master, that isn't math, it's Language. Other half of brain is engaged. Is he good with language, music, the home computer? If so, his future is bright. IF He Puts his nose to the grindstone and sweats the basic stuff, like Unix and Penix and Linux and the seven Cs and all taht. It will still be Work, if he wants to be Good. |
