Not a software project, but I would try to learn mathematics properly and in depth. This isn't something I've had the time or opportunity to do.

I would get a stack of basic and undergrad textbooks, maybe a copy of Mathematica, maybe also a tutor, and just start at the beginning to see how far I could get.



I came across this yesterday (probably on HN) http://betterexplained.com/cheatsheet/ I plan to read through all of this in my free time.


I don't know where you found it but thank you sir! Very enlightening and helpful for those things you get rusty on. Calculus was 6 years ago now for me and just skimming over what is in this sheet helps a hell of a lot. Awesome!


I had 6 months and tried to do this. That was 7 years ago and I just finished my PhD. Careful what you wish for. Now I have another 6 months...


A better understanding of math would directly impact your skill as a programmer. It might be worth it to float the idea with your job and see if they can help you with that. Then demand a raise because of your increased value.
