   math forums like gamedev
  Hi, does anyone here know of any forums dedicated to maths that are as good as gamedev. I have seen a few but they are not very active. Would be good to get replys the same day to problems as I am re-learning all my maths from uni.It would be great to chat to people on msn too so that i get an even faster reply and a good discussion.Thanks in advance.   
gpgpu.org is a good forum for math + programming. Numerical approximation of math equations is what it's largely about. Plus all of the projects are super-cool to learn about. :)   ;  I think if you want good-quality forums, you have to narrow down the field to a specific topic, for example, mathematics and/or computer programming. There are MANY good forums out there; in fact, even within the fields of mathematics and computer programming, you could narrow these fields down to sub-fields and still find an incredible number of good-quality forums.For example, two forums that provide good math support are SOS Mathematics (http://www.sosmath.com/CBB/) and Physics Forums (http://www.physicsforums.com/).If you wanted something more specialized, those types of forums exist too.In the field of computer programming, the same wide range is available. You could narrow it down to specific computer language and find hundreds, if not thousands, of forums. For example, for "C" programming, the C Programming Forums are good (http://cboard.cprogramming.com/). If you want something in the context of computer graphics, the CG Society has a good forum (http://forums.cgsociety.org/). The C Programming section of this forum is not busy, but the participants are competent, high-quality programmers.Hopefully, this gives you a good start.Regards,David;Quote:Original post by tabygpgpu.org is a good forum for math + programming. Numerical approximation of math equations is what it's largely about. Plus all of the projects are super-cool to learn about. :)I've seen quite a few projects using the GPU for calculations but they all seem to be using pixel shaders or some kind of OpenGL extension to write programs.But what do you do if you are at work and have a crappy computer that doesn't support such things? Is there any other way of programming the GPU or does it have to be through OpenGL extensions and the like?
