Stop projecting, Mehmet.

enjoy working at mcdonalds
shoulda done stats instead
get that 300k per annum quant money
Outstanding book. Not really intended for the mathematically immature. The comments printed in the margins crack me up.

enjoy your pure unemployment.

SICP is pretty based
Looks like a book that autistic /g/ intellectuals would read to feel superior because they study mathematics.
Doesn't change the fact that comp sci is still a kek degree where the majority of the shit you learn will leave your brain after college
haha its a math symbol embedded in the concrete! thats why its called concrete mathematics! haha get it?

It took me several months to realize that actually
haha its the number "11" written in paint primer! thats why its called c++ 11 primer hahahah!!!

>reading a book on a programming language
why not something useful like >>51228520 instead

Nah, dude. If you work your way through this book, you will feel superior because you actually are. This is some truly useful shit that will stick with you forever. Don Knuth is the fucking godfather of analysis of algorithms.

>buy book about concrete mathematics
>not even about concrete
Come on. I bet you guys don't even know how to design an indeterminate frame with alternative loading via influence line methods.

Depends how I'm rating it. I enjoyed the book at LOT more than I expected. Do I often use it in life (e.g. employment)? Like most CS folk who end up in Software "Engineering", actual, hard algorithmic work is a tiny percentage of my day-to-day.
There are a lot of revelatory moments when you see parts of discrete math link up with one another. For anyone who enjoyed playing with the algorithms in a book like CLRS, I would recommend it as "probably fun, probably beneficial". If your day-to-day will be analytical and very algorithmic, then increase that recommendation to "should find time to read".
Side benefit: a lot of programmers come to the field from a non-CS background. That's fine and I count many of them among the best developers I know. But by and by you might be working with someone whose math comes from a background in the more physical sciences/engineering, and whose discrete math isn't as strong. It's useful to be the guy in the room who can raise their hand and say say "Hey, uh, that's not how you work with factorials."

Damn, it's like you guys are posting pictures of my bookshelf today.
I liked this book as an undergrad
this is the only book you ever need.

Bible is better desu. It has unicorns and a guy who sleeps inside a giant fish.

You know that you can get your head chopped off just for taking a photograph of that book, right?
