let's compile a list of essential books for any cs major
wizard book

ddg is better desu
>>51458322
>books
>>51458317
otherwise known as the meme book
>>51458306
here's some:
SICP
K&R
All of Tanenbaum
Code - Charles Petzold
Engineering a Compiler
21st Century C
Linux Programming Interface
>>51458662
More like pic related
>>51458662
>Tanenbaum
That's the shit. Another OS course I took used a book by William Stallings, "Operating System Internals and Design Principles." Takes a bit of an alternative to Tanenbaum's approach, but still pretty good.
Sipser theory of computation
>>51458306
But i heard this book can't explain shit
I'll be finished with my M.Sc in CS soon and I've never read a fucking book except for my thesis. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is good I'm just too fucking lazy.

there's more btw, just listed the pdfs.

How much math should I know before I can read SICP? I'm starting Cal1 next semester
>>51460309
just try reading it and doing some research when you hit areas you don't understand. most of the math is classical stuff used as an example to teach the CS stuff.
This bad boy
>>51460309
Just get a copy of Apostol and read alongside it
>>51458306
Algorithms arent even that nevessary for programming
>>51462831
are you a webdev?
>>51458662
>people still posting my meme
Beautiful.
>>51462873
Either that or he just doesn't know what he's talking about.
>>51459674
I can verify that this book is really good.
>>51462831
holy fucking shit
knowing discrete maths is good too
>>51458662
>21st Century C
seriously?
>>51459674
absolute god tier book
>>51463714
>inb4 math isn't even that necessary for programming
>>51463714
not good, it is essential
>>51462831
W.....What
>>51458662
Clean Code and Code Complete. You bunch of academics keep fucking up the code and causing merges to the whole theme, because you format each time you touch a file.
>>51459674
book is really well organized
>>51463968
>>51463968
>you
I'm 5 years NEET and loathe academia.
There was an epic 8 chan thread about mathematics for cs. Does someone have link for it, it was really good.
ALSO there's a good book thread on lain.
>>51459674
tfw gotta repeat this class :(
>>51464469
What made it so epic?
>tfw got a 15 (FIFTEEN) out of 100 on my last discrete math midterm.
How do I stop being such a fuckup
>>51464777
purchase a whiteboard and practice on there. it's just 20 USD
it will also be a huge benefit to your other mathematics courses.
>>51458306
Is there a tl;dr version for this book?
Fucking falling asleep reading it.
>>51464819
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-046j-introduction-to-algorithms-sma-5503-fall-2005/video-lectures/
watch in 1.5x or 2x if you don't have the patience.
>>51464913
well, now I have videos to put me to sleep as well, thank you
>>51464050
I'm a fucking retard and even I know that shit is fucked up.

Not that much really. It isn't very mathematical as it was meant for students straight out of HS.
>>51461724
This guy is memeing. Apostol is probably good if you need some analysis at some point, but I haven't read it myself as Rudin is my baby. Spivak is nice if you need basic calculus. There's other areas in math that are more important for CS though (but calculus is still very useful!).
>>51460420
I bought the international edition because I'm poor and it looks like a vaporwave album cover.
>>51458306
The only thing you should be compiling is Gentoo.
>>51467263
NiCe MeMe
Freshman 1 + 2
PPP2
>>51462873
Not him, but for 90% of CS students it will be useless. They will work in enterprise codingin java or c# whole life.
>>51462831
yeah... maybe not even programming languages are necessary for programming
>>51458306
what specific tree data structure is pictured in that cover?
We already did this shit years ago.
http://g.sicp.me/books/
Newfags pls go.
>>51458662
OP said CS major not CodeMonkey major
>>51464809
thank you for this :)
>>51458306
I did an exam using this book, it's shit.
It explains everything with useless complexity when with simple analogies you could understand it better
>>51470133
lmao tree data structure
why are you trying to sound smart?
it's a hanging mobile
>>51470327
I will make an example: when you want to explain what theta(N) means you simply need to say that an algorithm runs in theta(N) if omega(N) = O(N) but this book explain it with messy words and you don't understand anything
Also a book I recommend is "Nature of Code", free because kickstarter, really useful to understand how physics and simple AI works
>>51470996
The book explains it exactly that way.
I have no idea about any other rigorous intro text. I will admit some of its explanations are poor though.
>>51462873
Web developers doesnt use algorithms?
>>51472802
They literally do, but only the most obvious, typically having zero formal knowledge of any.
>>51463798
I really liked the author's explanations.
For all the Networking stack I suggest:
Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach, 6th Edition : James F. Kurose, Keith W. Ross 2012 Pearson Higher Education ISBN-10: 0273768964 • ISBN-13: 9780273768968
For software engineering pic related
For Distributed Systems:
Distributed Systems: Concepts and Design (4th Edition): George Couloris, Jean Dollimore, Tim Kindberg 2005 Addison-Wesley
And for AI the one from Norvig and Russel
>>51464050
learn modulo and iterate - any cs moron knows this
no networks?
>>51464050
how the fuck does anyone write that without thinking there most be some library which implements this and then use that instead of reinventing the wheel?
>>51473820
a whole library to implement x % 2 ?
>>51473880
I'm sure you meant to type:!(x & 1)
>>51474172x != (x>>1)<<1orx != (x/2)*2, which is superior /g/?
>nobody has posted this book yet
/g/ is really going to shit

Am I to be considered as NEET?
I dropped out of academia (EE/CS) because I saw it's true face and how system is rotten. People with wrong motives competing against each other.
But I never stopped learning , I truly believe that self-teaching is the key. I am now a man with more experience and knowledge and a job just as if I had a degree approved and given by our corrupt society.
>>51475755
lol
>>51475755
You made the right choice anon.
>>51475755
>I am now a man with more experience and knowledge and a job just as if I had a degree approved and given by our corrupt society.
I also believe that self teaching is the key, but how can you say a statement like that?
Aren't you falling this >>51464050 meme?
>>51475755

Choose one.

fuck off thats not true
>>51459674
we use this for uni (on a comp sci related course), recommended read from me
>>51464050
i bet for the assignment
>write a simple program that tells the user if the number they entered is even or off
this is a super common answerConsole.WriteLine(userNumber%2==0?"Even":"Odd");
>>51474581
bitwise ops are always superior, division and multiplication are expensive
>>51475908
This has to be a fucking joke.
>>51477238
>implying the compiler doesn't optimize that automatically anyway
