I have been out of the math scene for a bit and i am looking for something that can brush my skills back up. Looking for something that will help me with mathematics and physics for computers. Thank you.

so am doing this exercise from my text book. and my code is as followed 

public class Census{
    public static void main(String[] args){
    
        double population;
        double birth = 86400/7;
        double death = 86400/13;
        double immigrant = 86400/45;
        double total;
        
        total = birth + immigrant - death;
        total = total * 365;
        population = total + 312032486; 
        System.out.println(population);
    }
}

 

My output to the console is 3.14812326E8

 When i do this problem step by step on my calculation i get the following output 312040102.7.

 

Why are the numbers so different?

What is the best book for starters in JavaScript? when i look on amazon it says some good ones where:

-JavaScript & jQuery: The Missing Manual

-Modern JavaScript: Develop and Design

-Learning Web Design: A Beginner's Guide to HTML. CSS. JavaScript, and Web Graphics

-Secrets of the JavaScript Ninja


What are some recommendation from your hands on experience? something with exercises i can do at the end of the chapter that can tune my skills.

who should i subscribe to on youtube to learn more about game development, and programming.

Hey everyone I've been studying programming for about 3-4months now and I am not finding myself having a hard time learning this. I really want to learn how to make video games I don't see myself being happy doing anything other than that. Art is out of the question my art skills suck. Anyone got any tips that can really help me out videos or books that can help me look at programming in another way to really understand.

I understand the concepts of programming. Loops statements, classes, fields, methods, arrays, if-statements. Logical operators. I have a hard time putting everything together to make a functional program.
