How do you read a theoretical computer science paper?

The general advice is to go through the paper and then in the second or third round try to understand the detail. Read the abstract, introduction and then main results(just the results). I go through research paper multiple times, each time keep record of confused things.

What math is used in theoretical computer science?

Discrete Math and Logic are essential for CS. But don’t forget the importance of Linear Algebra and Probability & Statistics. Calculus, Discrete Math, Logic, Linear Algebra, Probability, Statistics.

What do theoretical computer scientists do?

Theoretical Computer Science (TCS) looks at the fundamental questions of computation by creating formal models of computation and understanding the resources needed to solve general and specific algorithmic questions.

How do you research good computer science?

How to do good research : Important points (overview)

1. Choose an interesting area for research.
2. Identify an interesting research topic (a problem for which there is no good solution)
3. Have some good idea how to improve the state of the art.
4. Show that your idea works: e.g.

Is head first a good first computer science book?

Like the other Head First books, it has a lot of the essentials without the dry language. For a real, step-by-step concept computer science book, try Greg Perry’s and Dean Miller’s C Programming Absolute Beginner’s Guide (3rd Edition). Plain language, plenty of additional tips, and annotated code make it a really good first computer science book.

What are some books that first year computer science students use?

Originally Answered: What are some books that first year computer science students use? The first year was General Education and learning programming languages. One set you could learn would be HTML5, CSS3, and PHP. Other common languages are C/C++, C#, and Java.

What is the best book to learn C for beginners?

Head First C: A Brain-Friendly Guide (1st Edition) by David Griffiths takes the typically difficult C language and makes it pretty easy to learn. While it has quite a bit of cheesy humor, it does a good job of taking first-time programming and making it simple and easy to learn.

Should I learn C or C++ first?

If you were to major in Computer Science at a college, you would most likely have to take a class in C or C++. Both C and C++ have the greatest utility across the industry, and that’s why they are often the default first languages. While C++ is technically an extension of C, it is considered its own language and has its own syntax.
