I want to help in the ram memory subsystem and I have that > doubt thank you. Depends what you mean by =22strong math basics=22. You'll *definitely* n= eed to understand decimal/hexadecimal/binary/octal and how to convert between them. Understanding algebra is useful. If you've had some intro to complexity theory so you understand why an O(= N=5E2) algorithm is usually worse than one that's O(N log N), that helps. Also, knowing enough computing theory to understand what a finite state machine= is, and why to use one, and how to write code to implement one, is useful. You *probably* don't need calculus or deep number theory or a lot of othe= r pure math. Programming in the kernel doesn't require any more math than what's requi= red for competent programming in userspace. --==_Exmh_1569819986_16661P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Exmh version 2.9.0 11/07/2018 iQIVAwUBXZGNUgdmEQWDXROgAQJG3g//TQRm/I/JJOY2mtdKOqu6FG+W3+gf5Vh1 wqGlQfS3/J/m9zN42J4km70wHvcSL9Q1ZpgGoYX7slAGOLt/w6El/BEDWjVIHdJr N5Zq0KgjxXlcIONpPjcraUOlVgLM+4yu0uEUe15FCujz3mcam6D9JVKZInxzLjeR CFJPp43kLNsCq0KU9FDHofqHtig7FuipMJW2LNwoga8LZMxz+pi5wXzjwJkClc/O TlsAgrarvRN7Kx/VwtBcN0tFkc27QALRvK0XgkwZD+hJOe2ZNYAmsI+n2uGulO7A OT6BpJYN2L1JOR0qbAoV3AgcGrn1MS9T5SChxpgaeHOmfW+8VtCFAnBPrO/FhYGB AG4SZTkcC+C8dpw+1v6EtpREyF+f6Zq5X1eFgYVg8bXTxnGOaCMBqV9SWC6Zp1iU IWH4UgWJtIZOYrecKzp5zNHm0Hu06Sk87sx+vZE7+yaYecrGuHrbFL+x/949lW3N PSb3dRw/cInBHEwM1Vurp8YPCVUcqoFe+aQaBvrhWUZIf8QBAOMnUm7FXV5NXFjf no8xCMHMSbAGWW+nJuIjBVhIQhmK1+w4nF7weO/KhRTLSQi6mcUeCpqXDOagSEd+ RE5tbKwDfanwEBiyireQPkMpzoDf2EsJbgaAjftTb+SJQO2bibVsWTSNvgn24xeu 7b/PYzDBYyw= =5GHV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1569819986_16661P-- --===============4574743899838903697== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies --===============4574743899838903697==--
