I recommend http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/index.php" . Also, SFML looks nice, but not quite as well documented (though it is supposed to be faster than SDL). Another option is the allegro game programming library. And I second staying away from the Win32 API. Blah! Unless 3d, don't worry...
I think that will be fine. C++ is a great language. In case you would like any recommendations for texts: I really like C++: How to Program (I own the 5th edition, but I am sure others are fine); I haven't gotten through How Not to Program in C++ yet, but it looks great, and will help you learn...

I am not a physics student. I am, however, a computer science student. But even though I am not a physics student, I take it that it would be a bad idea not to learn at least one programming language. Classes can be helpful if you don't have the drive to study without assignments. But you know...
SG-1 or Atlantis? Your preference is very important. So is your favorite character. These show a lot about your personality and where you would like to go in life. I mean, are you more interested in wormhole physics and interstellar travel, or the design of Zats (boy, we don't want those things...

Hi. I am someone who would like to begin to understand the mathematics behind physics. I have forgotten much of the math that I was taught in high-school, not that I paid much attention at the time, unfortunately. I ran across the book The Mathematics of Relativity for the Rest of Us which looks...
