I read on many forums for "Do I need mathematic-skills to code?" (and such), but my question is slightly different.
What I want to know is: How much mathematics do you really need to graduate (with high marks) in 'Computer Engineering' or 'Information Technology' and is it hard?
By the way, I love mathematics, eventhough I'm not good enough at it (I won 3 math olympiads but I struggle from self-esteem).
To graduate - You'll need it for sure. An easy example are integrals, derivatives and stuff like that. A lot of subjects, at least in my university requires a basic understanding of maths.
Another thing is what kind of a programmer you wanna be. Sure I guess you do not always have to use math's while writing HTML code or so.
On the other hand - for algorithmic stuff you couldn't get away without it :)
all in all, To graduate in IT you have to know math, but to code, not always.

I am building a path for beginners (like me) to guide them through the learning of data analysis in R (Only in R please).
Would you suggest me any new sections and/or new courses that i should add?
Heres is what i have been adding till now: http://studiy.co/path/data-analysis/
Thanks for the help!
well you need to distinguish... If you want just to learn R programming you may check Coursera course on R
https://www.coursera.org/learn/r-programming
that would give you some basics. If you need to learn how to analyse data then you may need a bit more. What are your background in mathematics? What kind of statistics know-how do you have? A GREAT resource in my opinion is the book
An Introduction to Statistical Learning with applications in R
That you can even find for free in pdf (http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/). Beware that you may need some mathematics background to be able to understand it fully. In case you have a more profound background in science I may have other suggestions. Could you tell us at what level are you?
Hope that helps.

I'm a former IT-student and would like to start as a web-designer. because I'm still a student and want to focus on my study I don't want to work full time but part time.
does anyone know what's the best way is to do this. shoeld I start for my own or shoeld is apply for a job?
This question may not be what stackoverflow is supposed to be used for but I'll just give you some quick hints. Just like you I'm a young (19-year-old) student, currently studying Software Engineering (IT) at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. I'm currently doing an internship (3rd year) and am working at a webdevelopment company. Look for Online Marketing companies near your home, send e-mails to them, just look around. Here in the Netherlands there are plenty of opportunities for you to start and grow. All you need is some base knowledge and something to show off (Even a small portfolio will help!). Put some time and effort into finding a part-time job.

I had a colleague who is using Xilinx's LocalLink TEMAC
While I find the DS interesting, I would like to learn more about the basics of it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good low-level intro to networking/ethernet book?
I don't need to know "how to be a good network administrator", but rather interfaces like the MII, GMII, and how they communicate with different PHYs that are on the market. My questions that I'd like to learn about are similar to:
What is ethernet?
How are packets structured?
What is a preamble and how is it used?
What is a frame?
I'd also be interested in online sites if it's really much easier to learn from in your opinion. If there is a book series, I would be open to that as well.
One of the best networking books I've found is "The TCP/IP Guide: A Comprehensive, Illustrated Internet Protocols Reference" http://www.amazon.com/TCP-Guide-Comprehensive-Illustrated-Protocols/dp/159327047X/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1312296674&sr=8-5. The only thing this doesn't cover in great detail is the actual layer 1 stuff. Well even then it goes over some basic details, but the book is excellent for most anything you need to know regarding networks, packets, headers, etc....

I have read about 1/3 of the GNU Make manual, do you guys know of any resources to really learn the Art of using Make.
Ideally, there might be some examples where two ways of doing something are possible, and the author explains which method he chose and why.
I am primarily using Make not to build C/C++ programs but to operate a processing pipeline for data analysis.
Managing Projects with GNU Make, by Robert Mecklenburg, is the best I've come across. Plus, it's an O'Reilly Open Book, so O'Reilly gives away free PDFs of it on their website. Read it linearly, and start from the beginning (even if you think you already know the basics of GNU Make).
John Graham-Cumming has written a book called GNU Make Unleashed which looks promising, although I have not read it yet. http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/gnu-make-unleashed/2937580 and http://jgc.org/

Is there a free source with basic yellow pages data(name,address, phone#)? I don't mind if its out of date. I couldn't find anything with google. To clarify I'm looking for a data dump, I know I can just go to yellow pages.com or whatever for regular queries. As a last resort I'll probably scrape it.
This sort of data tends to be very expensive, so you're unlikely to find anyone offering a free directory. If they are it will probably be horribly out of date or have many duplicates.
In my previous job the company was looking at business directories - the main stumbling block was the cost of good, clean data.
Yeah, I'd recommend something like Yellabot.com and get the GOLD version if you can and automate scraping the data. I don't know of anywhere that is going to give that data out for free but if you're willing to pay for it, I'm sure there are companies that would sell the whole shebang for 10's of 1000's of dollars. If you do find it though, let me know, lol.
