    Compilers v. self study

    Posted: 10 Mar 2018 12:11 PM PST

    I am in OSU's online program and it does not have a course on compilers which is typically standard material. My recent networking course spurred some personal interest learning more about interfacing with hardware and writing software to do that. a) how much of a technical disadvantage am I at if I have some interest in developing for hardware? b) what would be some good self study resources?

    how useful is the math you learned during undergrad and what additional math would have been useful/did you end up taking in grad school

    Posted: 10 Mar 2018 05:47 AM PST

    so I'm currently an undergrad also interested in mathematics but without the option of doing a double major. I was wondering, out of the math courses you had in undergrad, which turned out to be important in grad school/research etc. I have taken all the mandatory math classes and was wondering if anything in addition would be useful or at least make sense.

    I did real analysis, linear algebra, first order logic, an introduction to probability theory and graph theory.(these are all obviously introductory courses so there is a second one for most of them although that would be pure math/math graduate school level even) that's about it. I am thinking of courses like abstract algebra, statistics, functional analysis, topology, differential geometry, measure theory, number theory(not elementary but something like algebraic number theory) etc courses.

    . I understand most of them are harder since they are catering to pure math students but I was wondering whether it is actually worth it looking into it. in addition I am a little worrying about wasting too much time with stuff I will not really profit from, falling behind and missing opportunities doing something more productive CS work.

    so it would be great if I could somehow connect my interest for math with CS.

    at the beginning I thought CS must be very math heavy since everyone talked about it in such a way, people said "the difference between a CS student and a math student is that the math students decides to study math and the CS guy does not", in my experience this could not be further from the truth. I think it's an exaggeration, of course you learn a bunch of math but most of it is very basic(for the field of mathematics at least) and I ended up even being a little disappointed, I am not good enough at it to use it in research and the most interesting research in theoretical computer science, machine learning etc seems to be done by mathematicians. I don't see how I have skills that they can't acquire quickly, however they have skills I could never just pick up, an entire different level of insight too. but it's not because my degree sucks, I looked around and other schools CS programs do the exact same amount of math. even econ majors do more math at my school, they have game theory, differential equations, functional analysis load and loads of probability theory and statistics.

    so what options do I have? I feel like I want to be more of a theory person(not just a programmer ending up in a job I could have gotten without a degree, that seems unfulfilling for me personally), I would love to do research in one of those fields mentioned eventually. honestly I would already be somewhat relieved if someone here did a CS degree and ended up needing a lot of non trivial(or rather not just things like calculus applicational stuff but where actual theory is actually needed) math in their career/research. I also feel like I would be way more comfortable if I was doing a math undergrad and then switched to CS, I feel like there is nothing in my CS program of the less math heavy things I could not have easily picked up in a semester preparing for grad school but the other way around is never possible, a CS major has no where near the skills to go pure math in grad school leaving the math major with far more options but that's just my opinion, maybe I am totally wrong here but it seems like gong this route would have been more productive

    What actually is the ACM Digital Library?

    Posted: 10 Mar 2018 10:10 AM PST

    I'm considering buying an ACM membership for the learning materials. Are O'Reilly books included in the regular membership, or is that part of the Digital Library membership?
