I'll divide these into Easy Pieces and Not So Easy Pieces (see [[Richard Feynman]]). If they are Not So Easy you will need, at the least, a background in linear algebra.

ahhhhhhhhh..nice set of research material..

Just a question-- do you digest such articles and what made you compile this list ?

I've read all of the Easy Pieces in the past and several of the Not So Easy Pieces. Even if you can't understand them Google is still fun to ogle.

As to why I made the list, I refer you to:
