    I will be making a text book that will synergistically combine Algorithms, Discrete Math, and Theory of Computation to show the connections between them.

    What the title says. During a recent livestream someone came up with the idea of making an "Easy Theory" textbook (a YouTube channel I run) and having thought about it more, I think it's worth pursuing. So we are going to make a textbook! The goal is to have a combination of theory, algorithms, and discrete math to synergistically make the best of all three. I want this to be a book that helps people see the inter-connections between all three of these, without having to jump back and forth between them.

    I created a channel on my Discord server to facilitate discussion. I would like to get your feedback from you all about what you want to see in such a work, and any ideas you have on bridging the gaps between the three. Please tell me any and all experiences you've had with existing textbooks, and what you want to see in one. There are some topics that seem at first to be "standalone" (i.e., don't require any of the two areas, such as minimum spanning trees), but I want to get any and all perspectives here.

    Additionally, my goal will be to make the book freely available online because I truly believe that's the best way for those to learn. If at all possible, I'd like to have a paperback version for purchase as well.

    The structure of the book will be divided into chapters, where each of the chapters has plenty of exercises, but none of them are "the same" as others. In other words, they show something even deeper than what the normal chapter material gives. An example would be regex derivatives.

    I need advice lol

    Posted: 06 Sep 2020 01:20 AM PDT

    Hey there everyone currently in a pickle. Ima first year undergrad at a CC right now and need advice.

    Choice 1: Get and AS degree in CS and transfer to a 4 year to obtain my bachelors in CS

    Choice 2: Get and AS degree in CS and enroll into a coding bootcamp

    Choice 3: Don't get an AS degree in CS and transfer to a 4 year and get my bachelors in CS

    I have friends who have went to a bootcamp and landed great jobs after competing them. I've done research on bootcamps and there's pros and cons to it (like everything else in the world lol). Which choice would be more reasonable to pursue? Any advice is greatly appreciated :) thanks

    What math courses would you recommend I take alongside my CS degree?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 09:27 AM PDT

    I know this has been asked a million times, but i have a sort of a dilemma. I can choose an extra four courses for along side my degree for the first year. I thought of taking 2 management and business courses (mainly because I'd like to work in the software engineering field) and 2 mathematics courses. first of all, do you guys think this is a good idea? I just thought 4 mathematics courses would be overwhelming, but i am not really sure. By the way, i can choose 3 courses for the second year.

    Here's the list of the mathematics courses i can take. I can take 2 courses per sub session and the courses must be a level 1 course. And here's the link to the mandatory mathematics course I'll take in the second year anyway.

    I am leaning on taking the Algebra course and the Combinatorics course combo for a few reasons. The prerequisite for the Linear Algebra course is the Algebra course and I've heard that Linear Algebra and Combinatorics are really important for CS.

    Or do you guys think i should go for the Calculus I and II option? This will give me the ability to study Analysis . I took Calculus in school and found it very fun and took the AP Calculus AB course. Here's what i took in school.

    Limit and continuity The formal definitions, proving limits using the definition and rules of finding limits.
    Derivatives Rules, rates of change, derivative of trigonometric functions, chain rule, implicit differentiation, find derivatives using the definition.
    Application of a derivatives Extreme values of functions, The mean value theorem, Local and absolute extreme values, Graphs: polynomial, rational trigonometric and parametric, Optimization, Linearization, Newton's Method.
    Integration Integration by substitution, Riemann sums and definition integrals, Areas and mean value theorem, Simpson's Rule and Trapezoidal Rule, Slope field
    Applications of integrals Areas between curves, Volumes by slicing, disks and washers.
    Transcendental functions Logarithmic and exponential functions, Growth and decay, L' Hopital's Rule, Inverse Trigonometric functions with their graphs derivatives and using them in integration, First order differential equations.
    Techniques of integration basic integration, integration by parts, partial fractions, Trigonometric substitution.
    Vectors Scalar product and projection, Equation of a straight line in space, Relative position of two lines, distance between two skew lines the intersection of two lines and the angle between two lines.

    Lastly, I could go ahead an take all the 4 aforementioned courses and scrap the idea of taking the 2 management and business courses.

    So what do you all think? Any advice would be highly appreciated :)

    I feel comfortable with language, how can I start making more than console applications?

    Posted: 05 Sep 2020 11:38 AM PDT

    Hi, I learned know fair bit of Java and Python but as we are tutored in collage we only do console applications with them. I don't even know what word I need to look for.

    I learned C# and JS on myself and C# works with Unity while JS itself being a front end tool it helps creating GUI fairly easily but I cannot do them with Java and Python. Can someone help me and direct me please? Any documentation, keyword, video, library, method i can dig deeper would be great, thank you!
