the physics of how a transistor works isn't going to teach you how a computer works.
find a book on computer architecture or something like Code by Charles Petzold.

Uhh, do you know calculus?
Do you know optimization?
Do you know how to solve differential equations?

Those are the prerequisites.

In classical optimization, you want to find the point of a function such that the slope is zero.

This gives you critical points where the function either has a minimum value, a maximum value, or a saddle point, idk. Point means 1, 2, 6, or some coordinate.

In calculus of variations (Euler–Lagrange, Hamiltonian, optimal control, Pontryagin, blah blah blah), the same logic applies. You differentiate the functional and set it equal to zero. However, the resulting equation is a differential equation (which you learn how to solve at university). By solving this, you get a fucking function.

So:

Classical optimization result: Point
Functional optimization result: Function, like f(x) = x^2 - x + 1
It gives you the best FUNCTION, not the best POINT.

I mean, start with the smaller fish; don’t try to eat the biggest fish, man.>>16895271

Or just apply to a university and let the information flow into your mind if you're too lazy.

Start with calculus:
derivatives, integrals
Then continue with optimization problems.
Then move on to differential equations and how to solve them,
Then go to Euler–Lagrange bruh, wtf.

I want to learn from the ground up from the silicon germanium chips, not just a surface level understanding of software but of the hardware

Sounds like you're running with a systems analysis brain.

Are people that don't think like you and can't teach you these things.
>Can someone tell me how to learn the maths concepts of these nibbas quickly and all the squiggly maths symbols their equations represent? I didn't finish highschool maths
No, drill down.
get another book. Look them up. It will benefit you profoundly more than it ever would the two quoted people because you need to learn it because you are able to hold it as a system in your head, as well as others and look at and compare them.
They cannot, and can't even see how it would connect.

Stop thinking you're stupid because you're uneducated, retard.

>>16895282
why don't you start with subatomic particles? retard

Learn what a semiconductor is, then see how its properties allow you to construct transistors to form logic gates.
