Group & Align Vendor Prefixes is a good idea.. more readable.

It's actually REALLY HARD to disable OneDrive. I've tried about 3 separate methods and the damn thing keeps re-appearing. From what I read, it looks like Group Policy might work, but I don't have AD in our environment and haven't been able to test it.

I do the same as you. Group by Module - which in my humble opinion is the real intention of the modules.

Oh between I do group by Type inside of a module.

Telemetry, I think most people (given a choice) would opt-out but OK.

What I hate are all the dark-patterns, registry keys and obscure processes that you have to locate to perform the opt-out (and even don't clearly know they are disabled). I'm a bit sick of fighting the OS that I purchased to make my life easier.

Even published Group Policy seems like an arms race, every time a new Windows 10 release there are a crap-ton of new telemetry settings.

And why-oh-why does Windows Server have the XBox client installed?

Windows is becoming the weakest part of the Microsoft stack.

For that you want to check out Group Theory.

i still have a copy of Fraleigh -- a first course in abstract algebra. not sure if it is the best, but it did the job.

I really enjoyed the two real analysis & functional analysis courses when i attended university, but alas, the reading material for these courses were notes produced by each lecturer, they're not available as published books.

> 5).Topology(cup = donut)

i recall covering the material for "cup = donut" style results in an algebraic topology course, i think in 3rd or 4th year, after first being drilled with 2-3 years of pure math including real analysis, including lots of basic stuff about topological spaces, continuous and smooth functions, measure theory, some abstract algebra, etc.

  3). Probability
  4). Statistics

MacKay's "Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms" is a great read: http://www.inference.org.uk/itila/book.html

  5). Optimization

Sign up for this course: https://www.coursera.org/learn/discrete-optimization

edit:

you didn't mention PDE, but i still have a copy of Evans -- partial differential equations serving as a monitor stand. you probably want to have 3 years of pure math including linear algebra, lots of real analysis & some differential equations under your belt first.
