MIT’s “Mathematics for Computer Science” — I urge anyone serious about computer science to save this now. This thing is basically the ceiling.
Don’t be scared off by the 1048 pages at first. Thick as it is, it’s an introductory book written for beginners. I was also stunned at first glance: 1048 pages and it’s called introductory? Only after flipping through it did I understand: it doesn’t rush you to finish it in one go, but breaks down the fundamentals into pieces and feeds you, so you can keep up by taking it slow.
If you really want to learn, take my advice: stop bookmarking those crash courses. Studying one of these hardcore books is worth ten short videos.

@manateelazycat: AI is powerful, but newcomers in computer science still need to accumulate knowledge to solve complex problems. Let me re-share the computer science foundational books I previously recommended. As for my own reading habits, especially when learning computer science, I prefer books that are easy to understand and explain why the code works the way it does. Only by understanding the underlying principles can you apply them later.
A seasoned developer shares a curated list of computer books accumulated over many years, covering mainstream languages such as Python, C++, Java, and Rust, along with multiple technical fields, emphasizing the importance of building a solid foundation for solving complex problems.
@NFTCPS: Want to master Reinforcement Learning? Keep dreaming, bro. Online courses just teach you how to call APIs, leaving you utterly confused after finishing. Reading papers? Mountains of formulas will scare you off instantly. Trying to systematically understand the principles? The barrier to entry feels like climbing to heaven, and the learning path is as tangled as a maze. Recently, I stumbled upon an open-source book, 'Mathematical Foundations of Reinforcement Learning,' that pierces right through this fog.
