    Who would be interested in a Youtube series of introductory theoretical CS topics?

    Posted: 26 Jun 2018 07:22 AM PDT

    I think this would be an interesting idea. As an instructor for a university, I have seen repeatedly students not able to understand even the basics of TCS topics. I would hope that a series would rectify this somewhat.

    Some ideas I had are:

    • Discrete math + applications (sets, relations, etc.)
    • Probability theory + applications (probabilistic method, Lovasz local lemma, etc.)
    • Graph theory
    • Finite automata
    • Computability + intro complexity theory

    However I know that there are many videos on these topics on Youtube (and elsewhere) already, and it may seem like I'm throwing my hat into an already crowded pool.

    Thoughts?

    Computational complexity is an ultimate constraint on evolution [abstract + link to PDF]: even biologically simple fitness landscapes can hide exponentially long adaptive paths to local optima.

    Popular Computer Science Books

    Posted: 27 Jun 2018 02:39 AM PDT

    Popular science is an interpretation of science intended for a general audience. The goal is to show science enthusiasts and laypeople the beauty of computer science and provide an accessible materials for them. So, Everyone posts a list of his top popular computer science books. All branches of computer science are embraced, needless to mention avoiding what is already mentioned.

    Leibniz’s Characteristica Universalis & Calculus ratiocinator

    Posted: 26 Jun 2018 04:18 PM PDT

    Leibniz imagines a "universal language" of human thought & a theoretical universal logical calculation framework made up of pictographic symbols/elements (like hieroglyphs & Chinese) being able to express mathematical, scientific and metaphysical concepts. He eventually loses his will in creating such a project.

    How would one go about creating such a language? If you were tasked to create such a language, what are some resources/texts you would immediately look into? How would you design your roadmap and what milestones would you include? What would you exclude?

    If you were to learn/understand such a language, which mathematical, scientific and metaphysical concepts would you want this language to express?

    Or in other words, what are some of the hardest mathematical, scientific, and metaphysical concepts that this language would need to express to prove its utility as a language?
